Ep. 5 - Can the Non-Subaltern Speak?
In this episode we discuss how and whether to criticize claims made by people who occupy marginalized positions in society. Is it ever ok to level critiques at people from historically oppressed and disenfranchised groups when they make claims about their oppression and what they think should be done about it? If so, how should one proceed? Hear what we think. If you want to contact us, hit us up at therilkeanzoo[at]gmail.com. Also, find us on Patreon at patreon.com/therilkeanzoo.
