EP 52: Call Out Culture

Feminist Killjoys, PhD ·

2017/05/17

This week we bring you a listener-requested topic prompted by the Hypatia journal scandal, in which the feminist journal published an essay written by a scholar arguing in defense of transracial identity (aka, what Rachel Dolezel claims).

In response to that demand, there were also several other think pieces and Facebook posts coming out either in support or dissent of that call. We discuss our perspective on this, as
