To my tremendous delight, I will be speaking on CTCW’s Otherworldly show this week! We will be talking about speaking ill of the dead while still respecting the grieving process, and the importance of accountability for healing, growth, and creating social change.

How the concept of “don’t speak ill of the dead” is typically utilized is fraught with dismissal and erasure. Every time someone problematic dies, it is nearly inevitable to hear statements of “don’t speak ill of the dead,” but who does that idea serve? What benefit does it have? Certainly, if we want to learn from the past and honor those who have been harmed by people now deceased, we must speak honestly of the dead, even if being honest means speaking ill.

This podcast will be recorded and posted on the Changing Times Changing Worlds channel on Youtube within a day or so of the live broadcast, so if you don’t want your picture out there, turn off your camera, and use the chat to ask questions silently! I will be posting the video here as well after it is up on YouTube, so you can tune in later if you miss the live show.

Also please remember to mute your mics when you aren’t speaking so we don’t hear your kids and dogs, and roommates when you aren’t speaking, but we do want your input.

The Changing Times-Changing Worlds Conference, which hosts CTCW Otherworldly, will be held virtually, live in Zoom, November 8-14, 2021. Evening classes and panels Monday through Friday, and all day long on the weekends with breakout rooms.
They also have a FB Page where you can participate in their online community and receive updates about the conference and the podcast. https://www.facebook.com/groups/388982351233282/
