Feminism, Culture & Voice: A Conversation with Roxane Gay Moderated by: Imani Perry

Roxane Gay’s work has expanded the conversation around feminism, inviting readers to grapple with complexity, contradiction, and inclusion. Moderated by Imani Perry, this discussion examines how feminist thought continues to evolve alongside shifting cultural and political landscapes. Together, they explore how writers challenge expectations, create space for marginalized voices, and push the boundaries of how we understand gender, power, and equality. The New Orleans Book Festival brings the world’s leading authors to Tulane University for a multi-day celebration of their works. The Festival features both fiction and non-fiction and convenes readings, panel discussions, symposia and keynote speeches. It provides an opportunity for outlets, authors and readers to interact with each other in one of the most vibrant and culturally diverse cities in the world.
