24 JUN 2021 · It's the final episode of this season of Maneuvering, and what a journey it has been. We dedicate this episode to reflecting on what we have learnt so far creating this podcast, and what exciting opportunities we have coming up. Maneuvering is certainly not going anywhere. We’ll be back in the fall, with a brand new inspiring set of episodes that delve deeper into our lived experiences and our feminism.

17 JUN 2021 · In this episode we dive into the topic of vulnerability and how it can be used as a political tool. We also touch on some cliche narratives like, ‘there is power in vulnerability’, to question if we ever related to this. As feminists, how do we make vulnerability something that empowers women, rather than igniting further oppression?
At Maneuvering we discuss topics like feminism, anti-racism, mental health, friendships, identity and much more. We also feature our friends occasionally and exchange personal stories that fuels their politics.

3 JUN 2021 · Women are socialised to believe that if we observe the rules of the patriarchy, it will be kinder to us and we will benefit from it - this is internalised misogyny. In this episode we dig deep into our thoughts and past experiences to answer the question: why are women sexist towards other women? You will also enjoy a short excerpt of a personal essay Shanah has written about internalised misogyny in the South-Asian community.
Books mentioned: ‘Not That Bad’ by Roxanne Gay and ‘The Glass Essay’ by Anne Carson.

20 MAY 2021 · In this episode we unpack the waves of feminism from the first wave in the early 20th century to present day third wave movements. We question what we were taught in school about the suffragette movement, and sprinkle in some much needed intersectionality to the waves of feminism.

15 APR 2021 · In this episode we talk all about setting personal boundaries - what they are, setting them, and why they are useful in separating our needs and feelings from others. We also discuss what challenges we have faced when communicating a boundary with a friend and why the notion of boundaries, popularised by social media, can be problematic as well as gendered.
