Getting Better Acquainted


GBA 283 - Cathy Elliott

January 11, 2017

In GBA 283 we get better acquainted with Dr Cathy Elliott. We talk about changing your mind, being aware of your emotions, The Radical Ordinary, Temporal Othering, storytelling, her book Democracy Promotion as Foreign Policy, whiteness, creativity and so much more. We also spend quite a bit of time deconstructing our experiences of me performing my show about masculinity to her students and how we felt about meeting two Men's Rights Activists who came along and dominated the Q and A session after the show.
