Socialist Feminism in Canada:
A Brief History with Meg Luxton
Marxist Feminism:
Keywords and Key Concepts with Shahrzad Mojab
Meg Luxton: Professor and Director of the Graduate Program of Gender, Feminist and Women's Studies at York University. Meg has been active in the women's liberation movement, the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, and a range of campus and community groups. As a socialist feminist scholar she writes on feminist politics, women's work, international effort to include women's unpaid work in the UN and the history of the Canadian women's movement, especially it's left-wing currents.
Shahrzad Mojab: Professor in the Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education and Women and Gender Studies, University of Toronto. Scholar, teacher, and activist, Shahrzad is internationally known for her work on the impact of war, displacement and violence on women’s learning and education. Her recent co-edited book, Educating from Marx: Race, Gender and Learning is an anti-racist feminist analysis of Marxism for a revolutionary feminist praxis. Shahrzad’s extensive empirical research in diasporic communities in Canada and Europe and the conflict zones of the Middle East has deepened our understanding of capitalist and imperialist patriarchy, culture and fundamentalisms. A unique feature of Shahrzad's work is making knowledge accessible to the public through the use of arts such as story-telling, dance, drama, painting and film.
