Radical feminist lawyer and scholar Catharine MacKinnon’s book “Butterfly Politics” argues that seemingly minor interventions in the legal realm can affect major social and cross-cultural transformations. MacKinnon discusses the butterfly effect through the lens of her pioneering work in helping shape and articulate sex discrimination law and the legal concept of sexual harassment as we know it. Kimberly Kay Hoang questions conventional narratives of power and victimhood in Vietnam’s sex trade in “Dealing in Desire.” Open Stacks is the official podcast of the Seminary Co-op Bookstores. This episode was produced by Kit Brennen.
