E012 The Surviving Society Alternative to Woman's Hour: Intersectionality
Release Date: 05/25/2018
Description: In our second Surviving Society Alternative to Woman's hour we are breaking down intersectionality! Special guest Brenda talks us through her role as a children's counsellor, arguing that women and children who have been victims of domestic abuse suffer further violence at the hands of the state due to cuts to vital services, Saskia discusses one of the ultimate feminist conundrums of body image, and Chantelle wants early career researchers to recognise that, despite shitty contracts and precarity, to work in academia is to be in a position of privilege. Throughout the episode, we try to bear in mind the ways in which oppressions can intersect along the lines of gender, class, 'race', migration status and perceived body size. Expect the usual strong language, ranting and laughter!
