More Than Two Sides - Episode 12
Tuesday, 27 October, 2020
For our last episode of the season, we talk to Gabby Hewitt, mom of two and a former history and government teacher, about how to talk to (young) kids about the elections. She shares what she’s learned about focusing on values over political identity and helping children question the tendency to put everything into neat categories (aka schema theory). When we develop critical thinking skills, we learn there are not just two sides in history and politics: there are many, many sides. Feminist CrushesThe movie Cuties and the quote by the writer and director, Maimouna Doucoure: “This film is my own story. All my life, I have juggled two cultures: Senegalese and French. As a result, people often ask me about the oppression of women in more traditional societies. And I always ask: But isn't the objectification of women's bodies in Western Europe and the United States another kind of oppression? When girls feel so judged at such a young age, how much freedom will they ever truly have in life?” I just think it is a really important film for feminist moms to watch.
