Questioning Trickle Down Identity Politics (January 15)
Nick from Freedom of Species and Lottie build on their last Special to discuss what journalist Naomi Klein refers to as trickle down identity politics. This form of identity politics, typified by people such as Hillary Clinton, prioritises achieving a more diverse range of people in positions of power, with the argument that if more people from marginalised groups get into positions of power, these benefits will eventually “trickle down” to that group as a whole. They discuss this drawing on Nick’s article ‘Questioning Trickle Down Identity Politics'.
