Gender

[close] Bi-monthly podcast on women in science fiction, fantasy and horror. This group will be a safe space to discuss women in genre fiction, from what authors you are reading to writing advice.

[close] For those asking “Why would they say that?” or “How can they think that?”, this is a group where these are not rhetorical questions. We really want to know - whatever your perspective. In this era of social media, I see less of a propensity for critical thinking and learning and more of a drive to shout and turn a deaf ear. We weather socio-economic, racial, religious, political, and other storms with routine frustration and too-often rigorous animosity and slanderous debate. 2020 appears to be one of these storms in our history and developing identity. In this group, we seek to understand. We listen. We think critically and question. Regardless of your position or thoughts on a particular issue, we can all discuss these things through an avenue of books.

[close] What is intersectional feminism? Intersectional feminism centres on the voices of those experiencing overlapping forms of oppression such as ethnicity, sexuality, gender, class and more. What is this group about? Our club is a welcoming space that focuses on reading books authored by individuals from marginalised backgrounds. Our discussions delve into the complex intersections of race, gender, class and sexuality. We explore the works of feminist fighters such as Audre Lorde, bell hooks , Nasal El Saadawi and more! Suggestions are welcome. Join us as we journey through thought-provoking narratives, challenging societal norms and advocating for a more inclusive world where we discover more books of inspiring intersectional feminist authors!

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.
