Judith Butler is Distinguished Professor in the Graduate School
and formerly the Maxine Elliot Chair in the Department of
Comparative Literature and the Program of Critical Theory at the
University of California, Berkeley. In this episode, Robinson and
Judith discuss three broad topics. First, they talk about
Judith’s latest book, Who’s Afraid of Gender? (Farrar, Straus and
Giroux, 2024). In particular, they touch on the dynamics of sex
and gender, as well as their political dimensions. Second, the
conversation turns to the 2024 presidential election between
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Finally, they broach the topic of
Israel and Palestine, with particular attention to the questions
of genocide and anti-semitism. Who’s Afraid of Gender?:
