Marilyn Frye with Gina Schouten

In this episode, Juliette Marchant is joined by Gina Schouten, Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University, to discuss the work of Marilyn Frye - feminist philosopher and one of the most influential thinkers on oppression in the late twentieth century.Together, Schouten and Marchant explore what makes Frye’s work so enduring and incisive: her account of oppression as a systematic and structural phenomenon, her attention to the everyday realities of gendered power, and her groundbreaking analysis of the politics of emotions, particularly anger and resentment. From The Politics of Reality to Frye’s reflections on responsibility, solidarity, and feminist consciousness, the episode highlights Frye as a thinker whose ideas continue to shape how we understand power, emotion, and resistance in contemporary political life.Texts Referenced in the Episode:The Anatomy of Justice: On the Shape, Substance, and Power of Liberal Egalitarianism - Gina SchoutenLiberalism, Neutrality, and the Gendered Division of Labor - Gina SchoutenThe Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory - Marilyn FryeThe Uses of Anger - Audre LordeThe Aptness of Anger - Amia Srinivasan
