International Women's Day York St John University

For International Women's Day the Centre for Religion in Society is hosting a talk by Dr Finn Mackay.

Finn is senior lecturer in Sociology at the University of the West of England, UWE Bristol, and is a longstanding feminist activist, founder of the London Feminist Network, reviver of the Reclaim the Night March and a veteran of the Women's Peace Movement. Finn's latest book, 'Female Masculinities and the Gender Wars', explores the political backlash aimed at the trans rights movement, with the aim of providing a radical feminist perspective that is inclusive of trans and nonbinary identities. A brilliant storyteller, Finn will put the political and radical discourse back into International Women's Day.

T he talk will run from 5.00 - 6.00pm, then followed by a drinks reception and book signing in the Atrium until 7.00pm.
