39th Annual Alfred P. Stiernotte Lecture
Misogyny: What It Is and How to Fight It
Thursday, October 17
Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell University
At the 39th annual Alfred P. Stiernotte Lecture, we considered the nature of misogyny, highlight the difference between misogyny and sexism, and explain how to recognize misogyny in practice. We then showed how misogyny works in its intersection with other forms of oppression in several real-world examples, including silencing outspoken women and the hostility women encounter in leadership positions. We concluded with some thoughts about how misogyny can be resisted.
A welcome reception was also held prior to the lecture.
