Travelling with Feminist Killjoys
ZOOM Webinar
Live broadcast at Alberta University of the Arts, Stanford Perrott Lecture Theatre Faculty Host: August Klintberg
Open to Students, Staff, Faculty and the Public (on campus live-broadcast and online access)

In this lecture I reflect back on my experience of writing The Feminist Killjoy Handbook (forthcoming with Seal Press, 2023). I explore how the feminist killjoy turned up in my own work, explain why I describe her as my companion, and clarify what I mean by “killing joy as a world making project.” I offer some killjoy survival tips and show how experiences of killing joy give us some of the resources and skills we need to navigate an unjust world and to build more open and less-hostile institutions.
