This final episode wraps up the podcast season by featuring conversations on intersectional feminism. As we wrap up this season of Taking Up Space, it’s important to come back to the main theme of this program and get a better understanding of what encompasses all of these intersecting political stances.

This episode features poetry by Ann-Bernice Thomas and a segment explaining intersectional feminism featuring Kat Stark.

Class

Season 1 · Episode 7

Wednesday, May 2, 2018 • Duration 58:19

This episode features conversations on class, economic capital, and economic inequality. These conversations can often be looked over in academic feminist spaces, and it’s really important to have them, as class privilege weighs very heavily on whether or not marginalized folks can have a voice.

In this episode’s panel, hosted by Ann-Bernice, Sarah Graham and Sumbal Sabah both share stories of feeling the pressure that class carries with it from very different backgrounds.

Also included in this episode is poetry by Maita Cienska and a spotlight on Our Place Society.

Body Autonomy

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, April 25, 2018 • Duration 01:04:40

In this episode of Taking Up Space we feature conversations on personal space, body autonomy, and consent. While discussions about consent and autonomy are becoming increasingly prevalent in feminist spaces, it’s important to include marginalized folks, who have to fight harder to maintain their own bodily autonomy, in these conversations. A warning that this episode deals with mature content, specifically revolving around sexual assault, so listener discretion is advised.

The panel discussion is hosted by Ann-Bernice Thomas and features the voices and perspectives of Melanie, Quinn, and Tiffany.

This episode also includes a step-by-step guide to consent as well as a spotlight on local organization PEERS Victoria Resource Society.
