On gender, diversity, and feminism
In this episode, Nanette Ashby is joined by Dr. Rona Jualla van Oudenhoven. From 2020 to 2023, she was the Chief Diversity Officer at Radboud University and Program Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We discuss the ins and outs of what this job entails. Including meeting with students or staff members to listen to their demands, complaints or issues and the process of finding ways to implement long lasting improvements.
In this episode, Nanette Ashby takes you with her to the Prostitution Information Center in Amsterdam. It is located in the heart of the Red light district next to the Oude Kerk or Old Church. I have the pleasure of interviewing Nat Portnoy, a multidisciplinary artist, activist, performer, filmmaker and sex worker.

The woman and the city is a topic of increasing importance, and one which, to me, exemplifies the pervasive nature of the patriarchy, as well as the new and changing ways in which it presents itself. Particularly, with increased globalisation, the phenomenon of the global city is one that requires our attention.

In the past years, the phenomenon of femicide has gained increasing space in the news, together with a progressively growing awareness of systemic gender violence matters, such as the gender pay gap, the #metoo movement against sexual harassment in the entertainment world, and structural discrimination.

On the first May (Labour Day), a crowd had gathered around a stage on Plein 1944, sun beating hard and loud voices raised in unison, united against capitalism and for class liberation. Protesters sandwiched in between a Primark and a KFC, stark examples of worker exploitation at its best.

Fascism seems to be thrown around everywhere these days, so much so that it almost becomes a term for everything that is on the right side of the political spectrum. Surely, there are cases when this term fits perfectly. Europe’s current political landscape is shifting right at an ominous rate. Therefore, it is now a good time to understand why this is happening and what are the factors fueling this shift. But why exactly feminine fascism?

“Ik ben vandaag even zo onwijs kwaad,” appte ik naar mijn vriendinnen. Even daarvoor was ik begonnen met een zoektocht naar een passende beha waarvan de aankoop niet mijn volledige bankrekening zou plunderen.
In this installment, I’m joined by Marjolein Kik, a Dutch academic specializing in dress history and experimental archaeology. Their research into the history of Dutch pockets takes center-stage in this episode. We start with the question: What is experimental archaeology? Marjolein explains the nuances of this new and unique research method and how they created an educational tool for museums, based on this research. We discussed materials, sewing techniques and designs used to make pockets between 1650 and 1950.

In this episode we are focusing on the work of Catcalls of Nimma who highlight and fight street harassment. I’m joined by the founders Judith Holzmann and Roos van den Oever to dive deeper into their process, from collecting the stories to putting chalk to the pavement.
