“The Importance of Feminist Knowledge in Political Change: The Case of ‘Velvet Revolution’ in Armenia”

Nelli Sargsyan, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Marboro College
In this talk Professor Sargsyan discussed the practices that women in Armenia have used in the past decade as they raised issues of social injustice. She described the key role they played in the mass movement of the 2018 “revolution of love and solidarity” through their creative approaches as a way of imagining a better future for Armenia, the larger South Caucasus region and beyond.
