About this event
This event is part of the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) Annual Theme for 2023-24, 'Gestation: Bodies, Technologies, Ecologies, Justice'.
Sophie Lewis, author of the forthcoming book 'Enemy Feminisms: TERFs, Policewomen, and Girlbosses Against Liberation', is in conversation with Victoria Browne and Jilly Boyce Kay. The book presents a left, transfeminist takedown of the notion that feminism is an inherent political good. It identifies a wide range of feminisms – from 19th-century imperialist feminism to contemporary anti-abortion and trans-exclusionary radical (TERF) feminisms - that must be understood as enemies of liberatory feminism, and fought against as such.
The respondents will offer reflections on the significance of the book for contemporary left feminism, as well as for their own work on reproductive politics (Browne) and micro-fascism and 'dark feminine' dating influencers (Kay).
