Inheriting the &nbsp;existential phenomenological concept of ambiguity from Simone de &nbsp;Beauvoir, Qrescent Mali Mason seeks &nbsp;in this final episode to map the ambiguities in Beauvoir’s work and life, and in the legacies of feminist thinkers like Beauvoir, who are complex, &nbsp;complicated, brilliant, and also ambiguous.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The discussion is moderated by Julia Jansen. This podcast is hosted by Ashika Singh and Liesbeth Schoonheim</p> <p><br></p> <p>More reading....</p> <p>Simone de Beauvoir. 2015 [1947]. <em>The Ethics of Ambiguity</em>.
