TLRH |The Hublic Sphere |Radical Vulnerabilities: Reclaiming Power in South Asia

Recorded January 14, 2021. Please be advised that there is discussion of sexual and gendered violence, rape, and sexual harassment in the workplace. If these topics will be disturbing for you, please proceed with caution. In keeping with the theme of power and its modalities, this episode is about identities and how minoritizing and racializing minorities can limit our power in patriarchal power structures, but how that very oppression can be subverted by those identities to reclaim power. This episode is a conversation with three incredibly powerful women, who occupy different marginalised spaces (whether it be gender, religious identity, or both) and wield them powerfully to fight for rights, which is almost a form of radical vulnerability. Their work lies at the intersection of research, activism, and sometimes, academia. We were joined by Dr Arpita Chakraborty, Zoya Rehman, and Mariya Salim, for the discussion.
