Spotting Sexism: A brief service announcement
This is just a brief post to tell you about a project that has been cooking up over the summer.
This October, a new series of feminist workshops is going to launch – I’ve been working on this project, along with zohra moosa (you can read about us here).
Spotting Sexism will be a four-week workshop for a small group, on feminism and how it applies to our lives. You can read more about it here, along with information on how to sign up.
It will involve:
- Weekly 2-hour phone-based sessions
- Facilitated conversations on key topics, such as: unpicking the sexism in our daily lives & in the media, how sexism affects different groups of women, and how to become a feminist activist
- Guest speakers
- A safe space to ask difficult questions, where it’s OK to make mistakes or just not quite understand some of the feminist jargon out there
- Activities tailored to help draw out your knowledge and experiences
- A private online community forum, just for participants
- Extra resources, reading lists and ideas for taking what we discover further…

I might come along – sounds like a barrel of laughs….
Are men allowed?
Given some of the comments in this place it sounds like it’s sorely needed.
@septicisle – yes, it’s open to all
