Updated: In today's episode, we speak to Hannah Stephen, a Bahujan writer whose work explores culture and conversations through an anti-caste lens. Her incisive pieces have been published on The Swaddle, Feminism in India, and various other social justice platforms. She is mostly found reading in the dark or convincing people to watch Nanette by her namesake.
In this episode, Hannah talks about a variety of powerful books and authors, spanning different arenas of social justice, from Meena Kandasamy to Alice Walker to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. We discuss why understanding intersectionality is crucial to any conversation about liberation, and delve deeper into disability justice, race, gender and accountability culture. Hannah also explores how social media has changed the way we read and enquire into ideas and leaves us with some very interesting books and questions to dig into.
