In this live episode of thinking bodies, Anna Mudde and Kristin Rodier dive into Ann Cahill’s “Feminist Pleasure and Feminine Beautification” (2003) and ask what happens when we take beauty practices seriously as embodied, pleasurable, relational, and potentially feminist practices. 

Along with contributors, we ask, is beautification always about the gaze—or can makeup, fashion, and other beauty practices also be sites of knowledge, connection, creativity, and care?

Ramanpreeet Bahra joined us as a consulting producer, this episode features reflections and contributions from Megan Dean, Helga Varden, Allison Wolf, Christine Hamel,  Cressida Heyes, and Katy Fulfer. Listen as we discuss beauty practices as craft, communal care, feminist agency, maintenance work, and sites of objectification and resistance.

In this episode of thinking bodies, Anna Mudde, Kristin Rodier, and Corinne Lajoie explore Rosemarie Garland-Thomson’s influential 2011 essay, “Misfits: A Feminist Materialist Disability Concept.” 

What if disability isn’t simply something that belongs to a body, but something that happens between bodies and worlds?

Featuring Joel Michael Reynolds, Rhea Ienni, and Emily R. Douglas, this episode explores disability, embodiment, accessibility, ableism, feminist materialism, access fatigue, misfitting, and the knowledge that comes from not fitting the world as it is. 

We "visit" the Island of Misfit Toys, think about conference lighting, ask what access costs, and consider whether the goal should always be to make misfits fit—or to make misfitting more livable, joyful, and collectively possible.

We feature conference participants Riley Lewicki and Alanah Mortlock, to explore what it means to create philosophical spaces that begin from the assumption that trans people exist — and that their lives, relationships, and ways of thinking matter.

Amy discusses her forthcoming monograph Trans Fascination, her work on curiosity and “curiotization” (the process through which trans people are transformed into curiosities or objects of fascination) and the complexities of trans visibility. 

Plus: favourite Golden Girl returns, conference joy, trans film, (Kristin's) “weaponized philosopher incompetence,” role playing on planes, and why “all the good shit is happening” in Black trans philosophy.

In this episode of thinking bodies, Anna Mudde and Kristin Rodier explore Talia Mae Bettcher’s groundbreaking 2007 essay, “Evil Deceivers and Make-Believers: On Transphobic Violence and the Politics of Illusion.” With clips from philosophers Alex Adamson and Ding, they dig into gender presentation, “reality enforcement,” and the assumptions that constructs trans people as deceiving others about their bodies and identities.

The episode moves from the murder of Gwen Araujo and the trans panic defense to clothing, sexuality, the heterosexual matrix, compulsory heterosexuality, double binds, and the politics of who gets to define what counts as “real.” With our contributors we ask, Where is the deception? And who gets to decide what is true?

What makes trust warranted—and when should we become feminist trust-busters? 

In this guest produced episode of thinking bodies, Anna Mudde and Kristin Rodier join with Corinne Lajoie to explore Annette Baier’s feminist philosophy classic, “Trust and Antitrust” (1986). Baier's analysis explicitly connects trust to asymmetrical relationships and differential vulnerability, including gender, class, race, and disability.

With contributions from Carolyn McLeod, Amy Mullin, Hale Demir-Doğuoğlu, and Laura Specker Sullivan, we dig into trust, distrust, vulnerability, power, dependency, intimacy, and oppression. From parents and children to institutions and strangers on buses, Baier helps us see the invisible web of trust that holds our social lives together—and the ways that web can also sustain exploitation.
