The November 2020 Alice Paul Center (APC) podcast episode of Gender Jawn focuses on the practices and politics of self-care. APC Interim Director Maria Murphy interviews UPenn GSWS Associate Director Gwendolyn Beetham and GSWS/APC Program Coordinator Shana Bahemat about meditation and writing as self-care, care work advocacy in the university, and facilitating care work as part of a holistic approach to pedagogy. Check out Gender Jawn on Spotify and apple podcasts. 

Readings include excerpts from Judith Butler’s Undoing Gender and Solange Knowles’ “Solange Knowles: Reflections on Stillness, Joy, and the Year That Changed Everything.”
