The same professor (or so it seems from the recording) dismissively refers to Paikin’s hour-long program as a “YouTube video” and later pipes up cluelessly: “Is grammar not something that’s really not subject to debate?”

They sound, well, like people who are used to standing up in front of a class and talking for a long time without being challenged or interrupted — an experience which is not good for the soul.

I was always so grateful for such comments. I would say “Thank you” to them aloud. They were so reasonable. So sensical. So beautiful.

On December 7, 2017 it was my 23rd birthday, and my friend Sophie, who was completing her MA in Environmental Policy at Memorial University in Newfoundland, was making a stop in Waterloo for a couple nights before flying back home to BC for the holidays. It was the last week of classes, so Sophie waited in the library as I attended my last graduate class of the semester, the theme being intersectional feminism. The presenting student lectured about the work of critical race theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw, the professor who coined the term “intersectionality” as a way to describe how race, gender, ability, and class intersect to form one’s identity.
