[sudo-discuss] Workshop on anarchist approaches to feminism

Hi everyone, I've been talking to Yar about having an introductory talk/workshop on anarchist approaches to feminism at the Sudo Room on 22nd June. It would be aimed at a 101 level - my plan for this was primarily to fill a gap that I often see with many people coming to feminism through dissatisfaction with the tech community, and therefore not having access to some of the radical histories and frameworks that might be useful. I've included a provisional overview and brief bio below. I'm open to suggestions about what time would be best (Yar suggested afternoons are better), and about how to make the workshop a useful contribution to the Sudo Room. I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have. If this seems like late notice to pull together the workshop and advertise it, but people are still interested, another option is for me to give it in September, when I'm next in the Bay Area. best, sky. Anarchafeminism 101 This workshop is a brief introduction to anarchist strands of feminism. It aims to provide an overview of the history and concepts that underpin anarchafeminism, and to open up discussion about how anarchafeminist approaches might be useful today. Reclaiming our radical histories provides us with vital resources. For those frustrated with mainstream, predominantly liberal or neo-liberal feminism, anarchafeminism offers helpful frameworks for thinking about class, race, gender relations, organising methods, and feminists' relationship to the state.
