Joy Watson is our guest today at 12pm SLT.

Joy is a feminist researcher and author with 20 years of experience in feminist activism. Her areas of specialization include women in politics, women and governance, violence against women, and analyzing public policy and expenditure from a feminist perspective.

We will be discussing her superb debut novel “The Other Me”, out now from Karavan Press. An important and challenging book about race, identity, domestic violence and our place in a complex world/society which is not going to neatly deliver easy answers.

This is a story not only relevant in the context of present-day South Africa, the author’s home.
