We discuss the ethics of subaltern engagement this week. How do we ensure that our outreach doesn't just replicate already existing hegemonic structures? What should we keep in mind in dealing with imbalances of power in activism, wherein the privileged and their good intentions tread in the margins? Join the usual duo and activist-scholar Petra Gimbad for this lively discussion!
