On Friday, November 6, 2020, Wanda Swan and I will be co-presenting “Once Upon a Podcast: Oral Storytelling as Resistance” as a part of Critical Border Crossings: Stories, Texts and Their Feminist Travels, a virtual symposium hosted by the Women’s and Gender Studies Department at Eastern Michigan University.
We’ll be talking about our work producing the podcast, “Once Upon a Patriarchy;” the history of fairy tales; the critical role oral storytelling plays in resistance; the influence of Disney’s animated films in perpetuating heteronormativity and white supremacy, and what it means to intervene in stories that do the obfuscatory work of myth. I hope you’ll join us!
The event is free, but you must register in advance.
