About the Event:

The last 10 years have been eventful, to say the least. And who better to reflect on our times than cultural critic and bestselling author Roxane Gay? Gay joins us to discuss how politics, culture, and of course, feminism, have transformed since the release of the iconic text that is Bad Feminist. Bringing her quick wit and razor-sharp criticism, Gay breaks down how the culture we consume becomes who we are, and provides us with some hope for the next 10 years.


This event is presented in partnership with the University of Chicago Division of the Arts & Humanities.
