In the third episode of "The Trouble with White Feminism" series, Jessie Daniels interviews Kim-Hong Nguyen, professor at University of Waterloo, in Ontario, Canada, and author of Mean Girl Feminism: How White Feminists Gaslight, Gatekeep, and Girlboss (University of Illinois Press, 2024). This conversation takes us through the IHRA definition of antisemitism - which has been discussed here on the podcast before - and connects it to other forms of “supremacism,” including white imperial feminism.
