| This article explores the epistemic liminality of women intellectuals in post-Soviet Georgia, situated between the legacies of Soviet intelligentsia, the NGOized knowledge economy, and authoritarian state agendas. The intellectual labour of these women sustains civil society, informs policy, and fuels protest but is often instrumentalized rather than recognized as knowledge on its own terms; instead, it is celebrated as evidence of democratization, dismissed as foreign influence, or reduced to donor-driven "expertise." Drawing on feminist and decolonial perspectives, the article examines how geopolitical belonging shapes the conditions under which knowledge from Georgia is produced, validated, and circulated. By foregrounding women's intellectual labour, the article highlights both the costs of this capture and the possibilities for reclaiming epistemic sovereignty in Georgia’s contested political landscape. | |
