    Episode 12: Your Academia is not Activism

    Dear academics: theorising social injustice isn’t the same as fighting it. Try to be more like Madita Oeming, or, failing that, at least Michel Foucault. In this episode, Lily and Lorraine talk about the intersection of academia and activism, they talk about their current papers (Q: what is the best academic essay that we could be comparing our essays to?), and mostly Lorraine talks about her porn class.
