In this episode, Asha Metcalfe and Rosie Hillary sit down with Lauren Sayers and Rosie Freeman after the debate: This House Would Abolish Prisons, held by Gender Agenda, the University of Cambridge’s largest feminist collective. 

In our first episode out in the field (breaking free from the recording studio), we are joined by two fellow Human, Social, and Political Science students to discuss abolitionism, crime, and systems of power and oppression. We move beyond the prison system to discuss theorists like Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Max Weber to explore the ways power and surveillance can be theorised in society. We apply these theories to our lives to examine how relationships and institutions are impacted by systems of power and control. What do we gain from understanding these topics? What is the benefit of social critique?

In this episode, we explore commercial sexual exploitation: its specificities, how it can be combated, and its evolving technological manifestations. In an era of rapid digital expansion, how can feminist organising and policy-making respond to this growing form of misogynistic violence?

Drawing on eighteen years of experience across research institutions, frontline child protection services, and policy-making, Gemma Kelly unpacks the perverse dynamics of commercial sexual exploitation and its increasingly digital nature. Her work highlights the centrality of structural change, particularly through legislative and regulatory interventions, in addressing exploitation at its roots.

This conversation probes the contradictions at the heart of feminist debates: how can we reconcile individual choice with structural misogynistic violence? Can the former ever truly be disentangled from the latter?

We also discuss attempts to regulate the online space, often perceived as opaque and impenetrable, where regulatory efforts frequently fall short despite mounting harms.

Throughout her career, she has worked on combatting human trafficking and addressing sexual exploitation in both online and offline contexts, with a particular focus on women’s rights, gender-based violence, and child rights.

In this episode, hosts Asha Metcalfe and Rosie Hillary are joined by Reese Marley Robinson, a recent Cambridge graduate, to discuss her sociology dissertation exploring the lived experiences of Black girls in Britain’s private schools. Drawing on interviews and her own experiences, Reese explains the “affective cost of inclusion” and the emotional labour of navigating elite, predominantly white institutions which marginalise the experiences of racial minorities. We discuss topics like misogynoir, structural racism, code-switching, hair politics, and the racialised politics of visibility. We explore how Black peer networks can be sites of resistance and care, and talk about what meaningful institutional change could look like for Britain’s education system.

In this episode, Helena Kondak is joined by Zoe Abrams, DPhil student in Sociology at the University of Oxford, to discuss her latest work: Explaining Societal Shifts in Victim Blaming and Perpetrator Culpability for Sexual Violence: Evidence From the #MeToo Era.

Abrams studied Politics and Sociology at the University of Cambridge before pursuing an MSci in Sociology at the University of Oxford, where she was awarded the A. H. Halsey Prize for Best Performance. She is now pursuing a DPhil in Sociology, focusing on the gender gap in political mobilisation among young people.

During the interview, Abrams and I discussed whether individuals reacted to the shift in public discourse concerning sexual violence after the MeToo movement in the same way that institutions did. Zoe's focus on Scotland was crucial to understanding how feminist politics and influence in policy-making led to Scotland being the only country to collect data on attitudes towards sexual violence.

"From the founding of the Scottish Parliament, the feminist movements were there, framing the key issues and collecting data on attitudes towards women".

Women’s college-level football has recently taken the form of an informal intercollegiate league following the banning of transgender women from participation in college-affiliated league matches, in line with the UK Supreme Court ruling earlier this year. What are captains, colleges and Cambridge University doing in light of this legislative pressure? What does this mean for inclusivity and the future of women’s football as a whole? Faith Cunningham discusses this sensitive and complex issue with guests Lara and Tia, members of the college women's football league.

In this episode, we are joined by Angèle Albrengues to discuss how current EU legal frameworks fail to address the risks of gender discrimination associated with artificial intelligence models. We discuss how AI technology reinforces the biases it is fed, reproducing inequality in both overt and covert ways. We highlight how sexism, misogyny, and gender-based violence cannot be escaped in digital spaces. Despite the prevalence of this issue, we explore how AI’s lack of transparency and lack of legal personhood makes it challenging to legislatively address the discrimination it perpetuates. Angèle discusses how existing frameworks can be used to confront this issue, and we consider whether AI can be reprogrammed to champion the feminist perspective.

How can our political beliefs be shaped in the classroom?

In this episode, hosts Rosie Hillary and Asha Metcalfe talk with Australian teacher and PHD Candidate, Alice Elwell about the power of feminist pedagogy in promoting democratic citizenship among students. Knowledge is never politically neutral; we discuss how feminist pedagogy conceptualises the classroom as a space for socio-political activism, aiming to challenge patriarchal paradigms in education. Alice discusses how teachers can use critical literacy to become 'affective curators' by harnessing feelings of discomfort among students. Feelings of affective dissonance emerge from one’s embodied sense of self, and the self we are socially expected to be. When these feelings arise among students in the classroom they can be a catalyst for political change.

In today’s episode, Barbara Foliot explores the democratisation of online sex work, using OnlyFans as a case study to examine whether it empowers sex workers or glamorises prostitution. Joined by Dr. Harriet Fletcher, a feminist media expert, they discuss how OnlyFans offer autonomy to creators but also raise ethical concerns, such as the lack of support for performers' well-being. While digital sex work has introduced new opportunities, it has also blurred lines between personal and professional content. This new, concise format aims to educate on the evolving landscape of sex work, its societal acceptance, and the challenges surrounding safety and legitimacy.

🎙 The Feminist Files – Intersectional Feminisms: Gendered Islamophobia & Black Feminist Praxis

In this episode of The Feminist Files, co-hosts Helena Kondak, Astrid Healy-Carrasco, and guest co-host Fatima Zahra Yusuf sit down with Faustine Petron-Daniels, an MPhil student and Cambridge Trust Scholar, to discuss her activism as founder of the Make it Mandatory campaign and her research on gendered Islamophobia and Muslim women’s resistance through the lens of Black feminist theory.

💡 Key Topics Discussed:

1. Faustine’s activism – Founding Make It Mandatory, a grassroots campaign advocating for mandatory sex and relationship education to combat domestic abuse among teenagers.
2. Gendered Islamophobia – How it differs from broader Islamophobia and why understanding it as a racialized issue is crucial.
3. Black feminist thought – How it provides a framework for resistance, community-building, and reimagining feminist praxis.
4. The politics of carceral feminism vs. abolitionist feminism – Exploring alternatives to punitive justice and the role of education in addressing violence.
5. Challenging stereotypes of Muslim women – How media representations and government rhetoric shape public perceptions, and what strategies can be used to counter this.
6. The role of love as an ethic in activism – Inspired by bell hooks, the importance of community, care, and love in building sustainable feminist movements.

Faustine shares insights from her academic research, her activism, and her experiences navigating both policy and grassroots spaces. We also explore the broader political landscape, including the UK’s approach to Islamophobia, feminism in media, and what an intersectional, anti-racist feminist movement should look like today.

💬 Join us for this thought-provoking conversation on activism, academia, and resistance.

'In this episode, host Faith Cunningham talks with Izzy Webb Adams and Caela Ibata about their view of the gender awarding gap found by a report from the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI). The report, entitled ‘No magic bullet’: An investigation into the first-class degree gender awarding gap at Oxford and Cambridge and how to address it’, sheds some light on why men are more likely than women to achieve first-class degrees at Oxford and Cambridge. We discuss what forms this phenomenon takes in the English Literature tripos.

In today’s episode, Helena Kondak and Astrid Healy Carrasco were joined by the fascinating Dr Sophie Niang to discuss her academic work. Dr Niang completed her PhD in 2023 at Cambridge, after a Masters at Goldsmiths and an undergraduate at Cambridge in Human, Social and Political Sciences. We explored her academic journey, from Afrofeminism in France to her concept of “Worldmaking” in France. We explored the multiplicity of Black feminism, Blackness and France as an object of study. We discussed how Black feminism can be understood as a necessarily diasporic movement; and how theoretical work can be channelled in public space, in the midst of governmental repression and deliberate attempts to ignore institutionalised racism and sexism.

In this episode, the two co-hosts Helena Kondak & Astrid Healy-Carrasco, Gender Agenda member Martha Dacombe, and the newest member of the podcast team, Faith Cunningham, discuss how political lesbianism, defined as the wilful choice to disengage from any romantic or sexual relations with men, has been used to fight back against growing misogyny. We traced the history of the movement to the ideological debates of the feminist 2nd wave in the United States, and explored its modern application in South Korea through the 4b movement. We then weighed the pros and cons of this mode of action, as this movement offers an individual solution while perpetuating constraints on women’s freedom and establishing sexuality as a potential choice.

Introducing Feminist Files, the new collaborative series between TCS Podcast and WomCam! In this episode, Helena Kondak and Astrid Healy-Carrasco interview Ruby Iverson, Tia-Renee Mullings and Katiann Barros Rocha.

'To briefly explain what this podcast is, you might have already heard our pilot where members of the WomCam committee presented their summer feminist piece of literature, and today we'll be talking about feminism and intersectionality in the theatre scene in Cambridge and beyond. This podcast aims to provide a platform for the Cambridge feminist scene, to debate ideas, but also to showcase how feminist is more than an ideology, a means to an end, but a practical lived experience.' - The Feminist Files team
