Ursula K Leguin, No Time To Spare: Thinking About What Matters - About Anger - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses the essay by the science fiction and fantasy author, Ursula K. Leguin, "About Anger, found in her book No Time To Spare: Thinking About What Matters. It discusses Leguin's reflections on the conditions in which anger can be a useful emotion in public, political, and private life, and on the dangers of treating anger uncritically as if it is always something good for dealing with injustice, abuse, exploitation, and threats. Leguin contrasts the early years of second-wave feminism and activism for gender justice and women's rights against the present time, in which anger isn't as useful a response. She also discusses anger's interrelation with other emotions such as jealousy, hatred, fear, and pain.
