Roxane Gay | Roxane with One N
The author of celebrated books, social commentator Roxane Gay critiques the ebb and flow of modern culture with wit and ferocity. Her collection of essays, Bad Feminist, is a quintessential exploration of modern feminism, and her books – including An Untamed State, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body, Graceful Burdens and Difficult Women – are celebrated for their honesty and humor. Gay also co-hosts the podcast Hear to Slay, pens the Work Friend column for The New York Times and was the first black woman to write for Marvel Comics. Presented by UCSB Arts and Lectures in association with the Feminist Futures Initiative.
Students were also invited to an on-campus discussion with Roxane Gay on feminism, race, writing, pop culture, and politics. The event was moderated by Dr. Mireille Miller-Young along with graduate students Megan Spencer and Viviana Valle.
