“Follow-up episodes featuring panels of feminist scholars, educators and activists could have opened space to reflect on ethical processes of speaking out and listening to criticism—on how critique might engender difficult emotions such as anger and shame in panelists, on how they’ve worked through these emotions, and on how attending to difficult emotions can lead to new learning.”

Lucia‘s work, including her blog, is also available on her website. And Erin‘s work is in many exciting places, including Hook&Eye; you can also read more about Notes from a Feminist Killjoy here.Erin recommended Kerry Clare‘s blog, Pickle Me This.Our reference to guts being feminist friends was alluding to Sara Ahmed’s blog post “The Time of Complaint.” But talking about guts and feminism always makes me think of the fabulous Guts Magazine, a vital Canadian feminist platform.
