Spotting Sexism: A Crash Course In Feminism, October 2008
By zohra moosa | 17 September 2008, 10:03
Quick reminder that the first workshop from Lights On is coming up.
Spotting Sexism is a four-week crash course in feminism, and how it applies in our lives for those who feel they are near the beginning of their feminist journey. If you’re ready to spend three hours a week exploring feminism and unpacking the jargon, click here for application details or email us if you have any questions.
The course includes:
- two-hours of facilitated discussions on key feminist topics via conference calls
- guest speakers
- a secure space to ask difficult questions (where it’s OK to make mistakes or just not quite understand what ‘patriarchy’ is)
- readings lists
- activities tailored to help draw out your knowledge and experiences
Places are limited. Open to all. Registration closes on 25 September.
Have your say
In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.
- This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
- All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
- No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
- Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
- No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
- Be nice.

Hi Lindsey
Jess and I are developing the resources for Spotting Sexism specifically for course participants so probably won't be posting them all up. We are thinking about how to keep Lights On accessible so please do keep sending suggestions.
