LGBT Life as Seen on TV

If you've watched Orange is the New Black, or if you've had any finger on the pop culture pulse over the last seven years, you'd know that the show has received acclaim and critique for its representation of lgbtq people. In this episode I talk with Dr. Carrie Buist, an expert in gender, criminology, and lgbt representation about what it means to be queer and incarcerated. We talk about what terms like "queer" mean, and discuss how criminology relates to pop culture. We add some levity by discussing an ex-"Real Housewife", and by both realizing we love Ruby Rose-even if we can't always remember her name.For more information and teaching resources please visit www.adriennetrier-bieniek.com.
