Judith Butler: Who’s Afraid of Gender?

Take a seat for a riveting, timely discussion with global icon Judith Butler, exploring how a fear of gender is fuelling reactionary politics around the world.

Judith Butler, the ground-breaking philosopher whose work has redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts the attacks on gender that have become central to right-wing movements today.

Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to abolish reproductive justice, undermine protections against violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights.

But what, exactly, is so disturbing about gender? In this vital, courageous book, Butler imagines new possibilities for both freedom and solidarity, and offers us an essentially hopeful work that is both timely and timeless.

Judith Butler is a philosopher and Distinguished Professor in the Graduate School at the University of California, Berkeley. Their books, including Gender Trouble and Bodies That Matter, have been translated into more than 25 languages.
