  • “Queer Podcasting and Knowledge Production” with Hannah McGregor

    “Queer Podcasting and Knowledge Production” with Hannah McGregor
    Jun 25 2024
    Combine the age-old art of conversation with easy access to digital dissemination and you get: podcasting! Hannah McGregor is THE expert on scholarly podcasting, new approaches to peer review and (although we only mention this briefly) feminist lesbian dinosaurs. In this episode, we chat about how Hannah approaches podcasting, what it can and can’t do, and why it is such a useful tool in queer knowledge production. Whether you’re interested in podcasting, queer scholarship or changing the very nature of academic discourse, this episode is for you.

    Learn more about Hannah’s work (and fabulous style) on Instagram (@hkpmcgregor) and give @queerlitpodcast a follow while you’re there.

  • “Narrating Palestine” with Nora Parr

    “Narrating Palestine” with Nora Parr
    Jun 11 2024
    Narratives can help us make sense of trauma – but what if these trauma narratives do not fit into preconceived structures of storytelling? Nora Parr joins me to speak about the role of narrative in trauma, in mental health and in understanding national, cultural and individual identity construction. Nora talks about how Palestinian literature forges its own narratives, why Palestinian literary history has so often been made invisible, and what genre conventions have to do with all of this.

  • “Lesbian Fashion History” with Eleanor Medhurst

    “Lesbian Fashion History” with Eleanor Medhurst
    May 28 2024
    Did you know that lesbians sporting sportswear is a queer tradition dating back centuries? Or that 1910s Japanese lesbians liked to don a yukata to send subtle signals about their gender identity and sexual orientation? My favourite foremost expert in lesbian fashion history, Eleanor Medhurst, is gracing the podcast with a return performance, sharing her vast knowledge about all of these topics and more.

    Listen now to learn all about how queer and gendernonconforming people dressed through the ages and follow @dressingdykes and @queerlitpodcast on Instagram to stay up-to-date and to book your tickets for Ellie’s book tour!

    Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:
    1. Can you name at least three historical fashion icons we speak about in the episode?
    2. Eleanor explains why literature is important in fashion history. In which ways does Ellie use literary texts to learn about lesbian dress?
    3. We use multiple words to describe the people whose fashion Eleanor writes about in Unsuitable. Why is that and what are some of the difficulties with labelling a historical figure?
    4. Many of the people Ellie speaks about combine clothes with different gender connotations. Can you give an example of this? Do you think this is still relevant today?
    5. Do you think lesbians are fashionable?
