Her Anthologie

Who would you be if no one was watching? In this episode I talk about the power of knowing someone's got their eyes on you. Why it's good (sometimes), why it's bad (sometimes) and how to break free (when needed).

Today's episode is a scream into the void and a reckoning with the reality that sometimes, to live is to suffer.

Sometimes it feels like all there is to do and think about is work. In Canada, our lives and identities are so tied up in our jobs that I can't help but wonder, "who are you outside of capitalism?"

This episode talks about capitalism, intuition and desire.

Hello again, I'm back on my bullsh*t. New episodes every Sunday!

Today's episode is about surviving girlhood and womanhood while unpacking critique's of boyhood and masculinity.

*New's anchor voice* Are men trash? Is "not all men" a problematic phrase? Am I problematic because I "see both sides?" Find out this week on Her Anthologie.

The spirit of social discourse is becoming strained and unproductive. But without civil discourse — there is no civil society. If we can’t bridge the gaps of understanding between individuals, the seams of democracy will unravel around us.  What we’ve forgotten is that civil discourse is a reciprocal process. It’s not only about being heard, it’s also about listening. Living in a diverse society requires us to step outside of our experience and into that of another. To do this, we might employ a philosophical position created by John Rawls called the veil of ignorance (or the original position).

Identity politics is a necessary tool for the pursuit of social justice but in this episode, we'll think about how this tool for justice also has the effect of perpetuating racist ideas and attitudes in society. Identity politics are vitally important and so we need to think critically about how we employ them as we move towards the advancement of human rights.
