Just checking in – news from otherwhere

There’s a lot of talk about intersectionality and how to do it. I’m particularly drawn to this article because it’s about centring an experience (which isn’t mine) and like my conclusions in 2016 that we need to redesign the suit (ie default male perspective) it’s time to consider redesigning the table if the table is white, middle-class European/colonial cultural defaults….

Not Being Me — Philip Green, Blogging & Writing.

Ruth Little – Dynamic Structure — Sarah Dickenson

“We need to shift the register of our thinking to gain new perspectives on our own experience.” I came across Ruth Little’s paper on the Dramaturg’s network site today.
