Pogcast: Welcome to tech won't save us. This week, we talk about the history of siber feminism and how glich feminism builds on that or differs from it. We also discuss whether hyper feminism has been a tool of exclusion for white women. And what does english feminism look like?

Paris Marx is joined by Legacy Russell to discuss how glitch feminism challenges existing ideas of what constitutes the body and the effects of having those conceptions embedded within our technological systems.

Legacy Russell is the associate curator of exhibitions at The Studio Museum in Harlem, and will become executive director and chief curator of The Kitchen in September. She’s the author of “Glitch Feminism: A Manifesto” and is currently writing “Black Meme.” Follow Legacy on Twitter as @LegacyRussell.
