Joe Biden, Justin Fairfax and #MeToo in 2019
In the latest chapter of the conversation around sexual harassment and abuse, two Democratic politicians are now under fire: Former Vice President of the United State Joe Biden is addressing several women’s accusations that he inappropriately touched them, and Virginia’s Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax is denying allegations that he sexually assaulted two women.
Where do each of these recent events fit in the context of the ongoing reckonings of #MeToo? And what do they say more broadly about the cultural shifts beyond this moment?
Guest:
Koa Beck - Joan Shorenstein Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Shorenstein Center where she is working on a forthcoming book about white feminism.
Later in the show…
Jane Austen has more readers than many of the most popular novelists writing today. Which explains why legions of "Pride and Prejudice" fans can’t get enough of Austen’s original story, but also happily gobble up its many retellings. We’ve picked two of the latest versions for our April selection for "Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club."
GUESTS:
Uzma Jalaluddin - Author of Ayesha at Last
Soniah Kamal - Author of Unmarriageable: Pride and Prejudice in Pakistan
