A Scholar Who Loves Country Music

We're setting up Sarah Dees, a professor of religious history and cultures who has researched and published widely on appropriation of Native American medicine and art. She also is deeply interested, personally and academically, in Dolly Parton. She is late to watching Ted Lasso but is super into its portrayal of masculinity. Her dream vaca is Scandinavia, and while she’s technically Sagittarius, her birthday is right on the edge and she identifies more with Capricorns. She recently read and loved Detransition, Baby and the Weaver and the Witch Queen.
