“Gender as ‘a symbolic glue’ vis-à-vis Reproductive Racism: Shortcomings and gaps in current approaches to anti-immigration and anti-gender stances”

This talk critically examines current scholarly approaches to the converge of anti-immigration and anti-gender agendas amongst a variety of political actors. Focusing on the lack of meaningfully engagements with race, this talk proposes Sophia Siddiqui´s notion of reproductive racism as an alternative to the gender as ‘a symbolic glue’ paradigm.

Maria Elena Indelicato (she, her, hers) obtained her doctoral degree at the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies, University of Sydney. Currently, she is a CEEC FCT researcher at the Centre for Social Studies and co-editor of the section ‘Anti-Racism/Mobilisations and Resistance’ of the forthcoming Routledge Encyclopedia of Race and Racism.
