THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen ::
FIRST … A fraternity at the University of Southern California has been suspended, after multiple reports of drugging and sexual assaults at their frat house. Is this another setback to the campus anti-rape movement? Professor Caroline Heldman, chair of gender, women and sexualities studies at Occidental College, joins us to talk about the state of activism and what needs to change.
THEN … How Black Women Are Rightfully “Taking Seats at the Table” – Nearly one in two Black women in the US have a loved one who has been impacted by our prison system. Many become de facto civilian experts as a result. Some rise to lead as catalysts for change. And now, scores of Black women are joining the ranks—as officers of the court, police, and judges—to manage and advance a system that has had such an outsized impact on their lives. In this segment from podcast partner 70 Million, they look at the many ways Black women are leading the conversation around policy and reform within the criminal justice system.
