QUILTING POINTS:

For our first session of the new semester, and our sixth session of the year, we will be reading sections from both the introduction and conclusion of  Living a Feminist Life (2017) Both readings expand upon Ahmed's conceptualisation of the feminist killjoy within The Promise of Happiness (2010), creating a radical articulation of contemporary feminism delivered in an accessible style. Concluding  Living a Feminist Life with a 'killjoy manifesto', Ahmed challenges killjoys to expose the myths encouraged by neoliberalism and global capitalism, rejecting the principle of happiness as a political cause.  Join us for a timely discussion of how to 'make feminisms work in the places we live, the places we work', bringing 'theory back to life' and much more. All welcome! Details: Tuesday 6th February, 5-6:30pm, LHRI, Room 1.
