[sudo-discuss] Workshop on anarchist approaches to feminism

[sky]

Hi everyone,

I think I've now finalised the details for this workshop. Please do let
me know if there's anything else required. Will there be a projector in
the space?

Anarchist perspectives on feminism:
Where: The Sudo Room, 2141 Broadway, upstairs (entrance on 22nd. St.),
Oakland.
When: 3pm to 4:30pm, Sunday 22nd June.
Cost: entry by donation.
RSVP: in the comments here, on the Facebook event page, or by email
(scroeser at gmail).

What: This talk 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. Too often we don't have
access to stories about the people and movements who have faced issues
similar to those we are addressing today. We have to reinvent tactics
and ideas. For those frustrated with the limitations of 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. We'll
close the session with a discussion about how to apply these ideas to
areas people are working on today.

About me:
I'm a teacher, researcher, and activist currently based in Toronto. My
work focuses on how activists use and shape technology, and about how to
build possibilities for radical social change. If you'd like to see me
give more talks and workshops more often, please consider supporting me
