Gave a lecture at York University recently on how activists can sharpen up their act. Nothing much new here, but the sound quality is good, and the Q&A was fun, so thought I’d repost here. Feel free to nick/copy/download etc.
Best new line, IMO was towards the end: ‘Effective activism = analysis + anger + empathy, but in practice people find it exceptionally hard to combine all 3. Academics do the first, activists do the second and psychotherapists the third.’
