L'Euguélionne is a feminist and queer bookstore in Montreal that exists as a non-profit, multi-stakeholders cooperative. The bookstore's collection will contain a wide variety of works, ranging from zines to academic books to children's books. L'Euguélionne will serve as a meeting place, where workshops and meetings will take place. Stéphanie Dufresne and Camille Toffoli, two founding members, join us on the show today to tell us more about the bookstore and how it came into existence, the importance of the coop model, and the importance of community spaces.

Nahla Abdo talks about how Imperialist Feminism views Palestinian women and their resistance to the Israeli military, Palestinian women's oppression, and the importance of land for native people, in this talk co-organized by the Simone de Beauvoir Institute and Israeli Apartheid Week in Montreal.

Areas of Interest

In general, I am interested in understanding the dynamics between gender, class, race/ethnicity, sexuality and the state. More specifically, my work has focused on issues such as: gender, sexuality, citizenship and the State in the Middle East; the dynamics between feminism(s) and nationalism(s); the gendered East/West discourse; and resistance and challenges from the field.

About

The conceptual/theoretical approach which interests me most is that which utilizes a multiplicity of disciplines in understanding women’s conditions, enriching their experiences and empowering them. The close relationship I establish between academia (theory) and actual life (practice) is most rewarding for me.
