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.

Share your comments below. What are your reflections on the podcast? How do you plan to respond to creating a feminist city?
