Together with Hanna Al-Taher and Firoozeh Farvardin, this episode explores a wide range of topics, including authoritarianism, collective mobilization, epistemic hierarchies, and the relationship between resistance, praxis, and academia. Drawing on the fascinating work of our guests, we highlight insights from decolonial and critical feminist perspectives.
