Keynote Speaker: Dr. Julia Long

It gives us great pleasure to announce our second keynote speaker. Dr. Julia Long is a radical feminist activist working with groups such as OBJECT and the London Feminist Network. She is the author of Anti-Porn: The Resurgence of Anti-Pornography Feminism, described by Professor Gail Dines as 'a book that not only eloquently speaks to the past, but importantly, paves the way for a radical future where the sexual dehumanization of women is no longer normalized, celebrated, or legitimized. This book is a must for every person who is fed up with the objectification of women's bodies, and wants to take back our culture from the pornographers.' Dr. Long achieved degrees in English Literature and Women's Studies before completing her PhD in feminist activism at London South Bank University in 2011. She has made media appearances on This Morning, Newsnight, and Channel 4's 4Thought TV. Dr. Long's position as both an activist and an academic makes her an ideal speaker for our conference and we're so excited to welcome her to Dundee.
