In \u003ci\u003eA Sentimental Education\u003c\/i\u003e, Hannah McGregor, the podcaster behind \u003ci\u003eWitch, Please\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSecret Feminist Agenda, \u003c\/i\u003e explores what podcasting has taught her about doing feminist scholarship not as a methodology but as a way of life.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoving between memoir and theory, these essays consider the collective practices of feminist meaning-making in activities as varied as reading, critique, podcasting, and even mourning. In part this book is a memoir of one person's education as a reader and a thinker, and in part it is an analysis of some of the genres and aesthetic modes that have been sites of feminist meaning-making: the sentimental, the personal, the banal, and the relatable. Above all, it is a meditation on what it means to care deeply and to know that caring is both necessary and utterly insufficient. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of feminist autotheory, this collection works outward from the specificity of McGregor's embodied experience - as a white settler, a fat femme, and a motherless daughter. In so doing, it invites readers to reconsider the culture, media, political structures, and lived experiences that inform how we move through the world separately and together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hannah McGregor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771125578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771125574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/04\/2022","brand":"Hannah McGregor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982311653631,"sku":"9781771125574","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4619de1-2b8a-4c68-8e3d-af797f448fc4.jpg?v=1683260425","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-sentimental-education-hannah-mcgregor-9781771125574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
