Women RISE Workshop 2: "Learnings from the Field"

The Women RISE workshop in Chintsa, Eastern Cape, emphasized the transformative power of imagination in social science research. By centering their focus on the mundane and everyday practices, the participants of this workshop aim to cultivate "peoples science" and drive positive change. By recognizing the contradictions of intimacy, embracing evolving normativity, and engaging in an anthropology of possibility, researchers can reimagine the world and address societal challenges from a fresh perspective. Through collaboration, community engagement, and interdisciplinary efforts, the participants of the Women RISE workshop are committed to paving the way for a more inclusive and just future.
