New Feminist Shift Podcast with Leslie Kern

We are excited to be sharing a new podcast created by one of our partners in this speaker series, The Feminist Shift.

Listen to the podcast at S2: E4 Building Feminist Cities with Urbanist Leslie Kern

Feminist Shift recently interviewed Leslie Kern, our speaker from Jan. 31, and asked her to respond to two Kitchener-based case studies. In the episode, they explore how cities can better support women in caregiving roles and how to build safety into our city for low-income and homeless women. Referencing urban planning and drawing inspiration from other feminist projects they reimagine our community's transportation system, infrastructure, and even the safety value of payphones.
