In this lecture Sara Ahmed will explore how complaints can be feminist pedagogy: we learn about institutions from making complaints within them. We learn how power works by making it hard to challenge how power works. She will consider how some people become complainers without making complaints because of what they need to do their work or the kind of work they do. To become a complainer is to become a complaint magnet, to attract as well as receive complaints. The lecture concludes with a discussion of the work of complaint collectives and complaint activism, exploring how complaints can be used to press against institutions and to press for institutional change
