Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Serene Cather. She is professor of philosophy and women's and gender studies at the CUNY Graduate Center, and she also holds the Jane Newman sharing philosophy of culture at Brooklyn College. And today we're going to talk about her book for Feminism, Why We Fall for White Feminism, and how we can stop.
So Serene, welcome to the show. It's a huge pleasure to everyone. It's a huge honor to be here. Thank you so much for having me, Ricardo. No, it's completely my pleasure.
So let's start perhaps here with a few definitions. Also because in this particular case, I know that there's a variety of forms of feminism and feminists identify in different ways and so on. Uh, what is feminism? How would you define it? So I think that the best definition of feminism is really the one that Bell Hooks offered in the 1980s, which is that feminism is opposition to sexist or gender-based oppression.
