F2F: Feminist to Feminist, an initiative of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies major (WGST) at Ithaca College, will partner with the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival (FLEFF) to mount a conversation between Leah Shafer (Hobart and William Smith College) and Pavitra Sundar (Hamilton College) on March 25 from 4:00-5:00 p.m., probing sound studies, postcolonial cinemas, and gender and sexuality studies. The event is a collaboration between FLEFF, Conversations Across Screen Cultures, and F2F: Feminist to Feminist.
During the pandemic, “F2F” has emerged as an acronym for face-to-face or embodied instruction or meetings. These salons expand “F2F” to unfold other meanings and possibilities, such as Feminist to Feminist, Field to Field, Festival to Festival, Friend to Friend.
Employing the master class model, these engaging participatory salons feature conversations between early and mid-career WGST-affiliated faculty members about their research and their journeys to becoming scholars with faculty at Ithaca College or in their disciplines nationally and internationally. Each semester features salons on different research topics featuring different faculty.
