"What's wrong with adults these days?" with Juliet Jacques (OUR008)

On this episode of the Order of Unmanageable Risks we speak with author, teacher, broadcaster, film-maker and columnist Juliet Jacques about the generational cleavages of the past decade as represented by Jeremy Corbyn's Labour campaign in the UK, for which she campaigned. We also discuss movements for trans rights as they signal broader struggles against austerity, as well as the backlash against them. Juliet Jacques is a writer and filmmaker based in London and author of Rayner Heppenstall: A Critical Study (Dalkey Archive, 2007) and Trans: A Memoir (Verso, 2015). Her writing has appeared in The Guardian, for whom she documented her gender reassignment in a landmark series entitled "A Transgender Journey" (2010-12), as well as London Review of Books, Granta, Sight & Sound, Frieze, Art Review, New York Times and The Washington Post. Her short films have been screened in galleries and festivals worldwide. She is founder and co-host of Suite (212), first on London's Resonance FM, lately as a listener-supported podcast.
