Episode 3: Feminist Nexus
Manage episode 345833006 series 3393318
In the first episode we talked about the history of American and Canadian feminist restaurants and in the last episode we talked about what feminist food is. Today we will be talking about what I like to call “the feminist nexus”. We will be joined by Dr. Jen Jack Gieseking, the author of A Queer New York: Geographies of Lesbians, Dykes, and Queers published by NYU Press in 2020. We will also be joined by PhD candidate Kiersten Beszterda van Vliet to talk about lesbian and queer music networks.

There are so many ways to connect the topics of the feminist nexus. If you want more info on Gaia’s Guides, I have an article called "Say Hi From Gaia": 10.1080/14680777.2019.1665569 .
