27 - Exploring Queer Representation in Picture Books
Manage episode 486684654 series 3405848
Host Tayla is joined by Alicia Vaandering from the University of Rhode Island, James Rosenzweig from Eastern Washington University, and Amanda Melilli from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to share their research project focusing on queer representation in picture books and the creation of the Rainbow Representation Rubric. They also talk about queer subtext in classic films and novels and finding comfort (or not!) in dystopian fiction. In the Last Chapter they discuss: would you rather have a personal library with unlimited space but only filled with books you've never read, or a small collection of books you've read and loved but no space for new books?
