Spinsters, Seers, & Succubi: Conversations on Feminism and Progressive Spirituality

* A show about women's power, progressive spirituality, and men learning feminism.* Dr. Kimberly B. George invites her guests to talk about how feminist practice could nourish every intersection of liberation. The show gives special focus to considering cis men's roles, taking up the inclusive vision of the great ancestor bell hooks, who called for "feminist seers" to imagine a world in which men are equal partners in feminist transformations. The spiritual conversations are intersectional, exploring in nuanced language how progressive spiritualities also have a role in shaping love-based social change.

    Vulnerability, Judaism, and Palestine: A Conversation with Rabbi Zach Fredman

    In this hour and 15 minute discussion, Dr. George speaks with Rabbi Zach Fredman about ceasefire, grief, Jewish historical trauma, and the urgency of Palestinian freedom. Questions raised include: To what extent can traditions be changed? Healed of patriarchy and ethnocentricism? And bent toward inclusive justice for everyone? How do we find the streams within our traditions that can challenge dominant models of storytelling, in which our own liberation rests on another's silence and suffering? Rabbi Zach Fredman was previously at the New Shul in NYC for 10 years, and is now the Creative Director of Temenos, a non profit which bridges spiritualty and the arts. As a musician and composer, he is the bandleader of Epichorus.

    Spiritual Activism + Depression and Perfectionism in Gloria Anzaldúa's Writing Process: An Interview With Dr. AnaLouise Keating

    Gloria Anzaldúa is best known for creating two of the foundational texts of U.S. women-of-color feminisms: This Bridge Called My Back in 1981 (co-edited with Cherríe Moraga) and Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza in 1987. But the scope of Anzaldua's body of work is much longer and larger than these two pivotal texts, too. In this interview, Dr. Kimberly George speaks with Dr. AnaLouise Keating, a professor of Multicultural Women's and Gender Studies and the premier scholar of Anzaldúa body of work and archives. Dr. Keating talks about her friendship and collaborations with Gloria. She also discusses key themes in Anzaldúa's life and work including: her concept of spiritual activism; her understanding of the interconnection of all life; her challenge to identity categories; the effects of her diabetes; and her struggles with depression and perfectionism in her writing process. Dr. Keating is herself prolific, with her most recent book being The Anzaldúan Theory Handbook, released by Duke University Press in October of 2022. This episode is for you if: You are interested in learning the histories of women-of-color feminism or Intrigued by the concept of spiritual activism or Want to consider the uses and limits of our contemporary identity politics categories or Want to hear reflections on how depression can be entangled with perfectionism   The show's host, Dr. Kimberly B.

    Men Learning Feminism: A Conversation with Rev. Meghan Mullarkey and Luke Abernathy

    What would the world look like if more men were involved in feminist learning and real transformation? In this episode, Dr. George talks with a a married couple—Rev. Meghan Mullarkey and Luke Abernathy (a therapist)—about their journey bringing feminist learning and practice to their marriage. We talk about women being afraid to feel their own anger around patriarchy and men who want to rationalize inequality instead of face it and change it. We discuss how couples can address invisible labor in the home and what these issues have to do with larger systemic realities across gender, race, and class systems. Luke—as a therapist— reflects on his process of coming to realize the language of therapy often lacks the language of systemic analysis of gender, race, and class. And Meghan names the realities of how much work it is to pretend to be happy instead of dealing with how patriarchy actually effects intimacy, parenting, and partnership.   Books Referenced in the Episode: Rage Becomes Her by Soraya Chemaly AND Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici    Courses Referenced in the Episode: Caliban and the Witch in an Time of COVID-19 AND Men Learning Feminism at www.FeminismSchool.com   The show is hosted by Dr. Kimberly B.
