Michael Jackson's Dream Lives On

Abstract: Alper Yesiltas’ reimagining of Michael Jackson went viral and was even chosen as an image for the September Journal of Michael Jackson Academic Studies newsletter, described as ‘thought-provoking’. In this episode, we follow MJ academic and recovering PhD scholar, Geneva S. Thomas through her excellent thread of tweets that explore the impact reimaginings of Michael Jackson have and what they do to his legacy. Karin and Elizabeth have a thorough discussion about respect and what it does to Michael Jackson's legacy with guests Geneva S. Thomson and Nina Fonoroff.
