The season 2 opener of Gender Jawn unpacks the motivations for changing the name of the gender & sexuality research center at Penn from the Alice Paul Center to the Center for Research in Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Studies. Jennifer W. Reiss talks about the importance of discussing the failures of the suffrage movement and Melissa Sanchez, Director of FQT/GSWS, discusses how formative BIPOC poets, artists, and creatives have been to the genealogy of queer theory, what sustainable care work might look like in the future, and her new book project on the productivity of guilt.
