Academic activism and feminist reform in the UK Parliament

This episode takes a different approach as we explore the experience of being a feminist academic in the UK Parliament with Sarah Childs (University of Edinburgh, UK). Sarah discusses The Good Parliament report, which aims to make the House of Commons more inclusive, and the role of a "feminist academic critical actor" in driving institutional change. We hear about her challenges in trying to reform this male-dominated environment.
