Fridays at Newcomb: Judith Taylor, Imperfect Intimacies: Thinking Through the Record of Interpersonal Complaint among Women
Friday, November 30, 12pm
Anna Many Lounge, Caroline Richardson Building
Over the last forty years, women, through poetry and song lyrics,
fiction and memoir, social science research and political treatise, have
described what it feels like to be treated cruelly, abandoned, ignored,
and victimized by other women. Taylor will discuss how we might make
sense of these voices in the context of our own lives. Judith Taylor is
an Associate Professor of Sociology and Women’s Studies at the
University of Toronto and studies feminist women’s movements, especially
during periods of retrenchment.
