Hannah McCann reads Sara Ahmed

Kyle Green on August 14, 2020

In this episode, Dr. Hannah McCann, a Lecturer in Cultural Studies at the University of Melbourne and author of Queer Theory Now,  joins us to read from Sara Ahmed‘s ‘Killing Joy: Feminism and the History of Happiness’ (2010).

Hannah introduces us to Ahmed’s re-reading and re-conceptualization of happiness, guides us through Ahmed’s use of etymology and wordplay, and helps us understand the powerful concepts of the ‘affect alien’ and ‘feminist killjoy’.

Follow along HERE.
