It is common to think of feminism from a strictly Western perspective, but the idea of promoting equality for all genders is a global effort, with unique traits in different environments. This season’s final Personally Speaking presentation, “How Feminism is Globalized: The Role of Translation in Cross-Border Exchanges,” features research by Emek Ergun, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Global Studies and Women's and Gender Studies. Ergun’s award-winning book, Virgin Crossing Borders: Feminist Resistance and Solidarity in Translation tells the story of a traveling feminist book translated by Ergun herself: Hanne Blank’s Virgin: The Untouched History (2007) about the western histories of virginity. ┃chess.charlotte.edu
