ABSTRACT
As feminist academics, working and living outside the geographies we were born and grew up in, we continue to be interested in understanding how feminist media studies impacts spaces outside North America and Europe. As such, for the tenth anniversary issue of Feminist Media Studies, we chose to engage in conversations with two feminist academics/activists located, respectively, in Brazil and India. We were especially interested in finding out the degree of impact that feminism and feminist media studies has had, can have, and should have, in the global “South.” What become apparent from these conversations are the possibilities and challenges of feminist research, where the projects of feminism(s) and its corollaries are complicated and diverse because of an increasingly globalised world. Certainly, a global information society is emerging, and in its wake we are forced to rethink our approaches to understanding how our notions of self and Other change in new and complicated ways. At the same time, it is cogent to remember the continuing challenges facing women and to find a connection between our own locations and the broader theoretical forms of knowledge production that circulate in the academy.
