Bradlaugh Lecture 2022: Facing many directions: Dissent and resistance in defence of women's rights and secularism, with Pragna Patel
Organisers: National Secular Society
Date: Saturday 1st October 2022, 2-5pm. Includes drinks reception.
Venue: Manchester Art Gallery, Mosley St, Manchester M2 3JL
Fee: NSS members £5 | Non-members £10
Details: In this lecture, Pragna Patel will argue that the rise of identity politics and the denial of women's everyday struggles for freedom, secularism and human rights – rooted in their material realities of deprivation, oppression and powerlessness – spells profound danger, not only for the lives of individual women, but for the survival of feminism and progressive politics itself.
