6/ Sara Ahmed (Reino Unido, 1969). 🤐 La "feminista aguafiestas" que incomoda al señalar el sexismo. Sus tesis sobre la queja institucional y los "oídos feministas" nos enseñan que no encajar en estructuras injustas no es un error, sino un acto político. 📣💥 #SaraAhmed #Feminismo

Gran película, sencilla e inteligente, en diálogo con #LaPromesaDeLaFelicidad de #SaraAhmed

The Hopefulness of Complaint A lecture delivered for the Transform Theory, Policy, and Practice: Decolonise Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Higher Education (HE) conference, Westminster University on February 6, 2026.*

The stance that #SaraAhmed took when starting the debate on complaint as a powerful and needed concept and way of life, was life changing for me.
Happy Saturday 🌈 and have a nice read 👇🏻

Feminist killjoy comes from Sara Ahmed. It’s what happens when women refuse to go along with things that hurt or silence others.
A killjoy does not take joy away. She makes space for real joy that everyone can share.

"No" with Sara Ahmed Our favourite feminist killjoy is back! Sara Ahmed joins me to talk about her brand-new book No Is Not A Lonely Utterance: The Art and Activism of Complaining. In her first ever (how special are we) public conversation about the book, Sara speaks about becoming a feminist ear and a complaint collector, sharing stories of her own complaints as well as those shared with her in community. Explaining how the power of complaining lies in creativity and collectivity, Sara shows why saying no is a powerful queer method.   References: Sarah Ahmed’s No Is Not A Lonely Utterance (Allen Lane, 2025) Sarah Ahmed’s The Feminist Killjoy Handbook (Penguin, 2023) Sarah Ahmed’s Complaint! (Duke, 2021) Sarah Ahmed’s What’s the Use (Duke, 2019) Sarah Ahmed’s On Being Included: Racism and Diversity in Institutional Life (Duke, 2012) Onomatopoeia Jean Porcelli Race Relations Amendment Act CARD Complaint Against Racial Discrimination Kennetta Hammond Perry’s London is the Place for Me: Black Britons, Citizenship and the Politics of Race (2018)  https://global.oup.com/academic/product/london-is-the-place-for-me-9780190909949?cc=gb&lang=en& Heather Love’s Feeling Backward Chelsea Watego’s “Always Bet On Black (Power)” (2021) https://meanjin.com.au/essays/always-bet-on-black-power/   Questions you should be able to respond to after listening: -      What is a feminist ear? How might you become one? -      We speak about the role of energy in complaining. Where can energy come from or disappear to? To quote Sara: ‘puff, puff’ -      How does Sara define institutional fatalism and why might it be an illusion? -      What makes complaint a queer method? -      This is a question from Sara’s book: What is the first complaint you remember making? How do you feel about it now?

Vibe learning queers academia by subverting fixed hierarchies. It challenges binary structures—expert/novice—by allowing fluid roles, remixing voices, and celebrating multiplicity. Queering logic itself welcomes the radical possibility. #SaraAhmed #JackHalberstram

Leaders in India, Hungary and the US are using appeals to nostalgia and nationalism to attack higher education Populist, right-wing governments often target universities as enemies of the state. The Trump administration is watching − and learning.

"You're just saying that cuz your a recovering academic with a useless PhD." 😒

Unless you want me to tie you to the bed and read Freire et al to you, you better get citing. 😈
