This Sunday our featured presentation will be a TED talk available on YouTube (about 18 minutes long) by Hannah Gadsby, a lesbian comedian from Australia who gained world attention with her Netflix special, Nanette. Reflecting on the purpose of her humour, she said, ‘I have built a career out of self-deprecating humour, and I don’t want to do that anymore. Because do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? It’s not humility. It’s humiliation.’ Helen Lenskyj, a Toronto Oasis participant and past speaker on several occasions, will introduce the video and moderate the discussion. Helen is Professor Emerita, University of Toronto, where she taught sociology.
