Season 1, Episode 2: On Silence
Manage episode 444247437 series 3601724
This episode explores some of the anxieties and fears that keep us silent or unwilling to speak. Why do we think silence protects us when it doesn’t make us any less afraid? Let’s consider what Audre Lorde can teach us.

Dr. Tammy Birk
Show Notes:
In this episode, I relied heavily on the insights of Audre Lorde’s essay ‘The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action’ (I977). You can find a PDF of it here: https://electricliterature.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/silenceintoaction.pdf
I also shared a brief poem from Nayyriah Wayheed’s collection salt. You can find that book here: https://www.amazon.com/salt-Nayyirah-Waheed/dp/1492238287
