Thursday, 18th September 2025 18:30 - 21:00

Join us at Round Table Books for the launch of feminist killjoy and scholar extraordinaire, Sara Ahmed's new book, No is Not a Lonely Utterance, The Art and Activism of Complaining on Thursday, 18th of September. 

Sara is a truly intersectional feminist who speaks to the feminist niggle in all of us, and this book is no different. We all know that to complain is an intimate, dangerous act - whether it’s speaking up about racism in the workplace or taking a stand against sexual harassment at university, the act of complaining to an institution can leave you isolated and undermined, all while the original injustice remains unresolved.

In this incredibly accessible, affirming book,  Sara Ahmed dissects the anatomy of a complaint, revealing how institutions create hostile environments that stigmatize complainers, and charts a way we can listen to grievances with ‘feminist ears’ and create a better environment for our life's work. This book has spoken to us in so many ways, and we are very excited to share it with you, and celebrate Sara's latest work. 

Join us to hear from Sara herself, and for an evening of community discussion. Books will be available to buy on the day, and Sara will be signing copies!

Tickets are FREE, but limited in number. As we have restricted spaces, please 'return' your ticket if you are no longer able to make it.
