This year, 2012′s Radical Reads reading series will kick off with a discussion on the politics of SlutWalk. Born out of a reaction against a local police officer’s suggestion that “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized,” and victim blaming culture at large, the contentious movement has seen its share of supporters and detractors alike. What effect has SlutWalk had on popular discourse regarding victim blaming? What groups have the power and privilege to reclaim the word “slut”? What are the benefits and limits in using the word “slut”? Join us for what we hope to be a lively late-afternoon discussion on the finer points of SlutWalk!
