You can also find our podcasts there.

She also presented her paper “From Fraternity to Feminist Activist Solidarities: Confronting Structural Injustice and Gendered Authoritarianism” at the Conference on Feminist Politics for Today (Honoring the Work of Bat-Ami Bar On) at Binghamton University, May 7, 2022.
