Jan 27, 2024: The Feminist Killjoy Handbook by Sara Ahmed

We will read selections from The Feminist Killjoy Handbook: The Radical Potential of Getting in the Way by Sara Ahmed as part of our Transformative Futures series. We aim to create a virtual space for all of us to learn together and tackle new, important ideas. We will gather for one and half hour to discuss this groundbreaking work.

Do you refuse to laugh at offensive jokes? Have you ever been accused of ruining dinner by pointing out your companion’s sexist comment? Are you often told to stop being so “woke”? If so, you might be a feminist killjoy—and this handbook is for you. In this book, feminist theorist Sara Ahmed shows how killing joy can be a radical world-making project.
