THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with hosts Lynn Harris Ballen & Suzette Zazueta :: FIRST …Are you a woman of color? Are you interested in learning transnational feminist theory and application? And do you want to engage in envisioning a feminist future? Then AF3IRM LA’s School of Women’s Activism (SoWA) is for you! AF3IRM LA are convening their first ever SoWA on two weekends in November! And we talk to Skylar Perez Grogan to hear all about it.
THEN … Cherise Charleswell talks to the founders of Boundless Brilliance – Audrey Shawley, Nina Deoff, & Hannah Hayes – these three female undergraduate students majoring in STEM at Occidental College started the organization after reading a study in Science Magazine which concluded that by age six, girls identify intelligence as a predominantly male trait. As women pursuing degrees in biochemistry, mathematics, and environmental biology they created an organization that aims to educate, empower, and engage students to close the gender gap in STEM fields.
AND … Women all over the country are suing police for failing to test their rape kits. And the rape-kit “backlog” narrative allows police departments to escape blame. Heather Marlowe took her case all the way to the Supreme Court – arguing that, by deliberately deprioritizing rape investigations, the San Francisco police department unconstitutionally denies women the equal protection of the law. The SCOTUS decision on the case came out recently and we hear from Heather about the decision and about what’s next.
All this on KPFK on Tuesday at 2.
THIS is What Feminism Can Sound Like.
