Engage in vibrant conversation with others while reading Brown's work on life, pleasure, sex, gender, beauty, and so much more!About this Event
Starting November 2nd join us in reading or re-reading in community Adrienne Maree Brown's book Pleasure Activism. This four week course will allow us to discuss the politics of healing and happiness in a way that explodes the dour myth that changing the world is just another form of work. Drawing on the black feminist tradition, Brown challenges us to rethink the ground rules of activism.
Come write in response to the readings, creatively or otherwise, and engage in vibrant conversation with others around Brown's (and other feminist thinkers') brilliant works and words.
Please bring a notebook, journal, or laptop to be able to write during class!
