The Collective for Gender+ in Research, is hosting the second event in our Unexpected Gender Series of learning sessions looking into unexpected or innovative ways that gender+ is brought into all stages of the research process — from research question formation to knowledge dissemination. This is a multi-disciplinary conversation: speakers for the series are drawn from Indigenous, critical gender and race studies; visual arts and education; and urban planning. All of them engage gender+ considerations in their work.

Our second Unexpected Gender Series session will be lead by Christine D’Onofrio, from UBC Visual Arts. Christine will speak to her work called Intuition Commons, her methods, and how she came to gender+ in her work.

Christine D’Onofrio is a visual artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia; she currently teaches at the University of British Columbia. Her practice acts as an inquiry to art history and the nature of artistic practice, current and historical feminism, exploitation, virtue, humiliation, humour and desire. Consumer culture and media are set up next to art historical references denoting a promise to both. Christine is interested in the contradictions and ambiguities of liberty, especially through capital. Her past work specifically does this by examining the complications of liberating female representation through canonical structures to the point that it may find new structure, thus liberating it from both, while enacting within them entirely. 

Following an opening by Christine, we will be opening to a question period and discussion of our experiences as researchers working towards engaging gender+. We see our graduate researcher audience as an important contributor to engage in the discussion. The Unexpected Gender Series is about sharing our experiences, questions and identifying loci towards resource- and network-building in support a greater presence of gender+ research in at UBC.

About the Collective:

The Collective for Gender+ in Research works to promote a community for rich dialogue in which gender and other intersections, including race, class, sexuality and ability, are considered when conducting community-based research. The Collective focuses on capacity building and providing the tools researchers need to utilize a gender+ lens.

 

This event is taking place on the unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. Our collective acknowledges that we organize, research and learn on this unceded traditional  xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) territory. We understand that both gender and research have been used as tools of colonization on these lands, and commit to working towards disentangling gender+ research from colonialism and Indigenous genocide.
