Hosted by Ariana Manov & Celina Alvarez
WE’RE CONJUGATING FEMINISM –PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE with a stellar lineup of fierce feminists who’ll help us wrap up 2011 and move us into 2012, including Rita Henley Jensen from Women’s e-News and Arabic Women’s e-News; Latina journalist and author Sandra Guzman, indigenous organizer and educator Andrea Smith, pioneering musician Alix Dobkin from OLOC (Old Lesbians Organizing for Change), Betsy Leondar-Wright from Class Action, and black lesbian comic Karen Williams

This sounds like an impressive lineup. However, I’m disappointed in the way you describe the women. By failing to specify the race/ethnicity of Alix & Betsy, as you do the others, you perpetuate the racism inherent in the assumption that “white” is the standard that doesn’t require description or specificity.
Hi – good point! will pass this message on to the producer Ariana who will reply from her personal email. Thanks for listening!
