Toward a Feminist Turn

With minor editing for publication, I have let this piece stand largely as it was delivered in 2015. It seemed fitting, however, to amend a postscript. There I reflect on what I learned from the reception of this talk and others like it that I gave shortly afterward. The intervening presidential election of 2016, and the new worldwide feminist resistance set in motion by it, offer one answer to a central question posed here: What will it take to bring feminism out of the shadows? The need for less "stuck" and predictable conversations about feminism is a priority. The times call out to all feminist killjoys! -K.C.
