by the Consortium for Gender, Sexuality, Race and Popular Culture,
a faculty-led initiative spearheaded by Professor
Karen Tongson at the University of Southern California’s
Dornsife College that brings together researchers exploring shifts
in gender, race, and sexuality in popular culture, while also
translating that research for the public square. During the
Covid-19 pandemic, the Consortium is functioning as a start-up
podcast network within the Department of Gender & Sexuality
Studies, and working with both faculty and students to produce
informative audio stories in multiple genres. This podcast is
produced by audio engineer Allyson M.
Holley.
