Book/Essay Discussion Club

Chapters and essays will be posted here on a weekly basis. The discussion will be meeting Sunday mornings, 11-3, at the house on the corner of Douglas and Clayton. We have decided, as a group, to alternate authors/essays on a weekly basis. Selections from hooks will still be posted and discussed, but we will be expanding our scope significantly. Please feel free to also use this space to discuss the essay posted.

It’s short, but it’s a great intro to intersections of oppression. More later!

 
   

Here is another, a bit longer: Their bodies, our selves by pattrice jones. Connects sexism with speciesism.
