this lecture I explore what we come to know about institutions from our
efforts to transform them. I will draw especially on two chapters “The
Feminist Killjoy as Philosopher” and “The Feminist Killjoy as Activist,”
from my forthcoming The Feminist Killjoy Handbook. To be a feminist
killjoy (or another kind of institutional killjoy) means not only
confronting institutional problems, but challenging how institutions use
our efforts to change them as evidence they have changed. The lecture
explores how being feminist killjoys at work means recognising that the
figure of the feminist killjoy can be appropriated and neutralised.
Being feminist killjoys at work also requires finding other
institutional killjoys, because the more we come up against, the more we
need more.<br></span></div><div><span class="gmail-ContentPasted0" style="color:black;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:white"><br></span></div><div><span class="gmail-ContentPasted0" style="color:black;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:white"><b>Biography</b><br class="gmail-ContentPasted0"></span></div><div><span class="gmail-ContentPasted0" style="color:black;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:white"><div><span class="gmail-ContentPasted1">Sara Ahmed is
