Confessions of a Feminist Killjoy

Erin Wunker (Acadia University) is a feminist killjoy, and she thinks you should be one, too! She brings memoir, literary criticism, pop culture, theory, and feminist thinking together to introduce Sara Ahmed's figure of the feminist killjoy as a lens through which to read the world.

Erin's brand new book Notes from a Feminist Killjoy (2016) has been named Quill and Quire Fall 2016 Non-Fiction Preview Selection and 49th Shelf Most Anticipated Fall 2016 Non-Fiction Preview Selection. She is Chair of Canadian Women in the Literary Arts (www.cwila.com<http://www.cwila.com>) and co-founder of Hook & Eye: Fast Feminism, Slow Academe (www.hookandeye.ca<http://www.hookandeye.ca>).
