Ladies Of Misrule

Ever wondered how your community shapes you? Where you walk, how you make friends, what you do with your hair? Join co-producers Franny Parent, Karol Oveido, Kay Nilest, Natasha Roque-Rosario, and Stephanie Zhang as they uncover the connections between where you are and who you become. This is [en]gendered, a podcast from the Center for Women at Emory.

What does a hero look like? And how does it feel to finally see one who looks like you? Join Tiffany Del Valle, Tia Williams, and KJ Lewis as they discuss media representation for queer people of color and why characters like America Chavez, Marvel's first queer Latinx superhero, matter.

How do you know what you know? And who taught you what counts as knowledge? Join philosopher-activist Taína Figueroa, postcolonial theologian Kwok Pui Lan, and KJ Lewis as we talk about how our genders, cultures, and histories bring us to different forms of knowing—and resisting. Let's get unruly. You can learn more about Taína's initiative, #PrendeCiales, here: https://www.facebook.com/prendeciales/

Did Dooley's gender change, or did we change it for her? This is the second half of a two-part series on what Emory University's unofficial mascot can teach us about gender, agency, and community organizing. Join Center for Women at Emory director Chanel Craft Tanner, queer theologian Jane Nichols, and KJ Lewis in a conversation that manages to include references to both Beyonce and cyborgs. Let's get unruly.

​For 118 years, Emory University’s unofficial mascot has taken the first name and middle initial of its current president. With the election of President Claire E. Sterk in the fall of 2016, the former Lord of Misrule revealed that she was now, in fact, a lady. But what's a lady, anyway? Ladies of Misrule amplifies the voices of women and femmes in the Emory community who trouble, subvert, and expand notions of ladyhood in the pursuit of a more just world.
