Episode 4: Thirst Space
Manage episode 346431680 series 3393318
In our first episode we talked about what feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses were and are. In the second, we talked about what feminist food is and the connections between food in gender. In the third, we talked about the ways that feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses were part of the feminist nexus and other ideas of networks. The episode included some discussion of lesbian bars, but it wasn’t the focus of the episode. This episode will talk about lesbian, queer, and gay bars and the concept of “thirst space.” We will be joined by sociologist Dr. Greggor Mattson and indee mitchell of Last Call New Orleans.
