- **Event Description**: qUCL are pleased to welcome Yanbing Er, to share insights from her new book.About this EventThe idea of progress has been perceived as inextricable from the story of modern feminism. But we live in a time when history looks to be moving backward for feminism, when so much is lapsing into a more reactionary past. How might feminist thought make sense of such a fate that can no longer be indexed by a framework of progressive reason?In this talk, Yanbing Er will share insights from her new book Feminism Enchanted (Columbia University Press, 2025), arguing that the key to this predicament lies in the capacity of the literary imagination. She will read Akwaeke Emezi's Freshwater (2018) to show how the novel invites the inhabitation of an immersive, and much more expansive, feminist imaginary, which—in both its constitution and its practice—pays testament to a feminism thoroughly invigorated by the affordances of enchantment.All welcome but registration is required.View information on accessibility in the South WingRead qUCL's Code of ConductThis event has been organised by qUCL, a university-wide initiative that brings together UCL staff and students with research and teaching interests in LGBTQ studies, gender and sexuality studies, queer theory and related fields.
