The study group will start on Thursday July 24th and continue through September 24th. We will meet once a week on Thursday nights at 8 PM Eastern Time (US). Here is the reading breakdown.
To sign up, you must be a patron of the show (or support via BuyMeACoffee or a YouTube Member). If you are not able to afford $1 a month or $10.80 due to hardship, let me know and we'll make it work. To register email [email protected]. We will cap the group at 100 registrants.
The group will be 10 weeks long and I do request that people only sign-up if they intend to attend 80% of the sessions (let's call it 13 of 16 weeks). Obviously we understand that sometimes things come up that are unanticipated, but we would like folks to hold themselves accountable to trying to attend 80% of the time.
The weekly reading is typically between 25-30 pages a week + footnotes.
other standard commitments:
1) a participant must be willing (if able) to facilitate or note take during sessions as needed.
2) Approaching discussion, dialogue and even disagreement from a baseline vantage point that you care about what they think because you care about them, and care about changing the world for the better. Critical perspectives and disagreement are encouraged, but should be approached in a spirit of generosity.3) Respect boundaries set by other participants and recognize the purpose for the group is collective study, not speed-dating.
You can purchase The War Before through Massive Bookshop which currently has it at 50% off. If they sell out just email me and I can help you find an alternative place to source it. But the publisher Feminist Press is also currently having a sale (35% off). We will also ensure those who don't have a physical copy can find a copy of the readings.
