Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World
Add to Calendar

Leslie Kern, author of the bestselling book Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World shares insights from her latest book, which travels from Toronto, New York, London, Paris and San Francisco and scrutinises the myth and lies that surround this most urgent urban crisis of our times and proposes a genuinely decolonial, feminist, queer, anti-gentrification. One that demands the right to the city for everyone and the return of land and reparations for those who have been displaced. There will be a live Q&A and on-stage discussion following the talk. 

 

Leslie Kern is an associate professor of geography and environment and director of women’s and gender studies at Mount Allison University. She is the author of Gentrification is Inevitable and Other Lies; Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World, Sex and the Revitalized City: Gender, Condominium Development, and Urban Citizenship.
