Gendering Epistemologies – Gender and Situated Knowledge: Perspectives from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe

Summary/Abstract: Thirty-five years ago, Donna Haraway, a prominent American scholar in science and technology studies and ecofeminism, coined the term ‘situated knowledges’, which has since become a classic reference in feminist debates. Acknowledging that knowledge production is bound to a specific point in time and space, scholars have been using Haraway’s notion to reflect on their positionality in the process of creating scientific knowledge. This now iconic concept was a central theme at the international conference ‘Gendering Epistemologies – Gender Situated Knowledge Perspectives from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe’, organised by the research initiative Political Epistemologies of Central and Eastern Europe (PECEE) and held on 13–15 October 2022 in Liblice (Czechia).
