THE STORY OF RINGS: A case study in transnational feminist organising

Abstract

This chapter argues for the importance and value of transnational feminisms, approaching this question through a case study of a transnational feminist organization, RINGS: The International Research Network of Institutions of Advanced Gender Studies, that was conceived in 2006, initiated in 2012, and formally inaugurated in 2014. The chapter examines the background, inauguration, development, and challenges of such transnational feminist organizing, including such issues as transnational solidarity, membership, funding, organizational processes, as well as implications and possibilities for furthering transnational feminist organizing, knowledge production and practice.
