Powers of the powerless: Feminist mobilization and economic empowerment in Europe
Sirje Laurel Weldon is a distinguished professor at Simon Fraser University and co-editor of the American Political Science Review. She is also a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Previously, she held a distinguished professorship at Purdue University. Weldon has won numerous awards, including a Best Book Award (in Human Rights) from the International Studies Association for her 2018 book The Logics of Gender Justice, co-authored with Mala Htun.
At the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Weldon will work on her next book, a collaboration with Summer Forester, Amber Lusvardi and Kaitlin Kelly-Thompson, which examines the role of feminist mobilization in furthering women's economic and social rights. Drawing on an original cross-national dataset on feminist mobilization, it combines large-scale statistical analysis with a series of case studies from every region of the world.
