Scholar Spotlight with Dr. Anna Drake on Deliberative Consociationalism and Structural Inequality: Power and Conflict Transformation
Anna Drake will be speaking on a new approach to deliberative consociationalism. She combines critical work on structural injustice and deliberative democracy with intersectional feminist interventions into power-sharing. Drawing from the radical analysis in the Combahee River Collective statement (1977) and their argument that intersectional identity is a source of knowledge and the impetus for much-needed structural change, she argues post-conflict societies should focus not on power-sharing, but on a transformation of power.
