In this episode of Feminist Networks and the Conjuncture, Dr. Moya Bailey and Dr. Sarah Banet-Weiser discuss how Dr. Bailey coined the term “misogynoir”, her publications and digital work expanding upon the term as well as its real-life implications and possible solutions. Dr. Bailey further discusses her work in digital spaces and elaborates on her framework of social media as containing overlapping, generative, digital neighborhoods with the capacity to produce real-life social activists and transformational work.
