A very special appearance of ethnographer and expert on all things Eastern European, Kristen Ghodsee today.

Among many other fields of rigorous academic inquiry, Kristen continously looks at the history of state socialism in all its facets in a much needed nuanced way.

Also: her book “Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism” has the word “sex” in the title … what more do we want? Well, we want context and we will get it today!

Please do note the special time - 9am SLT. We shall meet on island #2. SLUrl is forthcoming on the Destination Guide.

In the meantime: visit Book Club island anytime and watch past shows via the playlist below:
