Dr. Alex Ketchum, a Faculty Lecturer of the Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies of McGill University, joins Andrew in the ITBR! Get ready to enter Dr. Ketchum's feminist classroom where you'll learn all of the different critiques in feminist studies including the feminist theories and the waves of feminism. Alex and Andrew discuss what feminist thought looks like in 2023, and why the mainstream media looks towards celebrities, like Paris Hilton, Lizzo, Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and Emily Ratajkowski for feminist ideas. Are these celebrity feminists engaging in performative activism, or are they engaging deeply with both activist and academic feminist communities? Alex also discusses her books "Engage in Public Scholarship!: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication" and "Ingredients for Revolution: A History of American Feminist Restaurants, Cafes, and Coffeehouses."
