CKUT Radio: Remembering Lillian Robinson

Listen to a special edition of CKUT's "Off the Hour", where we remember the late activist and feminist scholar Lillian Robinson.

Lillian Robinson was a Montreal-based activist, feminist scholar, and all-around powerful woman. Sadly, Lillian Robinson died of cancer on September 20th, 2006. She was best known as the principal of the Simone de Beauvoir Institute for Women's Studies at Concordia univeristy in Montreal, but also as a co-founder of the Jewish Alliance Against the Occupation. Lillian was someone who saw her students as commrades, and embraced social justice struggles.

In this edition of Off the Hour, we hear from Viviane Namaste of the Simone de Beauvoir Institute, former student Marni Kellison, author Dave Bernans, fellow Montreal organizers Delores Chew and Freda Guttman, and of course, the powerful voice of Lillian herself.
