📕 BOOK LAUNCH 📕

Join us for the official launch of Creative Critical Interventions for Social Justice, co-edited by Natasha Tanna, Abeyamí Ortega Domínguez, and our faculty member, Hakan Sandal-Wilson.

This new book examines knowledge that is often excluded from conventional academic production and explores the potential for creative critical writing and cultural production to advance social justice-focused research and practice. It addresses hierarchies of knowledge creation and knowledge creators, bringing together artists, educators, community organisers, activists, researchers and writers working from decolonial, antiracist, queer and transfeminist perspectives.

We’re excited to welcome LSE Gender students, staff and alumni to our Welcome Lecture 2026!

Welcome Lecture: Interrogating Cruelty, chaired by Prof Sumi Madhok.

In this talk, Dr Leticia Sabsay explores the current neo-authoritarian moment as marked by a distinctive political aesthetics of cruelty. Dr Sabsay enquires how a gender perspective can provide analytical tools for confronting contemporary authoritarianism and cruelty, and whether such a critique can open forms of political hope without disavowing the violence of the present.

Join us afterwards for a drinks reception 🥂

NEW: Kimberlé Crenshaw – becoming a “backtalker” and a life fighting injustice 📣✊🏾

@kimberlecrenshaw (@uclalawschool, @columbialawschool, @aapolicyforum, @intersectionalitymatters) is a legal scholar, #feminist theorist, co-founder of #criticalracetheory and the thinker behind #intersectionality, a concept influential in #gender studies and beyond.

Her new book out from @simonbooks, Backtalker: An American Memoir, describes the experiences that have shaped her intellectual life, from childhood through to her academic career 📖

The result is a masterful narrative about learning how power works and finding the courage to fight it, and essential reading on resistance in our current moment, write Clare Hemmings and @dr_aiko_h @lsegender in their #review.

Read it at the link in bio or stories 👆 Book cover for Backtalker: A Memoir by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, featuring a vintage photo of a young girl striking a confident pose with an older boy behind her and the title printed in large yellow type. by @lsegender
