Loving Feminist Literature

Loving Feminist Literature All things critical, feminist and especially non-Western feminisms. I am a black and postcolonial feminist scholar,researcher and activist. We love books!

Critical Feminist Education, Project Consultancy, Live Readings, Writing workshops and Arts- Based Participatory Action Research. My focus is intersectionality theory and practice that centers women/femmes of colour, and focus on interlocking forces of race and capitalism in these times. I have worked with women seeking asylum and in the family violence sector, and mental health. Women are the ex

perts in their own lives, and listening to women and their stories is the best evidence. The page celebrates the intellectual, philosophical, political, literary and spiritual contributions of Black, Indigenous and global feminists of colour. We need the political and cultural analyses and solutions they offer. We work as an intersectional collective with porous boundaries. We resist the erosion of feminist studies in Tertiary Institutions. We wish for academic feminist texts to be accessible to general audiences. We aim to create a safe, convivial intellectual platform for building feminist solidarity across race and class, sexuality, ability and religion. We aim to honour the need for women of colour to look deep into our own decolonizing practices, move beyond mere “inclusion” but listen to, unlearn, and learn from and honour Indigenous feminisms calls to engage with their issues of land, sovereignty, philosophies, ways of knowing, and futures as accomplices not interlopers. We don't like corporate liberal feminist network breakfasts! We lift as we climb and be the change we want to see. (and cats, dogs, each other and you!)

Attend and share. By the monash Liberatory Practices Collective,
part of the Shadow Syllabus, Emergency! Humanitarian Aid Under the Spotlight. See more after the speaker bios.

In this seminar, we will examine why and how hunger and famines are a form of slow (structural) violence created by economic and social policies, and/or can be deliberately weaponised through blockades and other violent tactics. The impacts of climate change can also exacerbate food shortages and famine. Officially, a famine has to be ‘declared’ by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) before UN agencies, governments, and NGOs worldwide must take action.

Learn about why and how hunger and famines are a form of slow (structural) violence created by economic and social policies or weaponised in war.

Wish we could attend online! Looks great Love Richard Seymour's work

Upcoming book launch. Disaster Nationalism , by Richard Seymour, couldn't come at a better time.

"At the heart of Richard Seymour’s new book Disaster Nationalism there is a disquieting dynamic equation: the far right has found ways to profit politically from disaster, and in the coming years we will see disasters increasing in frequency and intensity. We can expect the fortunes of the far right to keep rising as the disasters pile up."
