Bill Auerbach & Una Chung: Buddhism, Gender and Freedom – Podcast 201

You notice how your body feels during meditation. Una Chung and Bill Auerbach discuss how this practice of noticing can effect the (sometimes rigid) ways we categorize our bodies, and what Buddhism has to say about our experiences of gender and sexuality.

Here is the video conversation between Sunaura Taylor and Judith Butler referenced in the talk.
