Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

J.D. Sargan, "Trans Histories of the Medieval Book: An Experiment in Bibliography" (Arc Humanities Press, 2025)
Q: Could you explain for listeners who Eleanor was and how her experiences, her life, and how that is documented, co-opt norms of documentation?
Eleanor was a trans individual who was documented in a hostile court record, revealing much about her life and strategies for navigating societal norms.
Timothy Gitzen, "Unscripting the Present" (SUNY Press, 2025)
Q: What do you hope for in looking at this?
Gitzen expresses a desire for more media representations that emphasize queer joy and everyday experiences, rather than centering on trauma or tragedy.
Timothy Gitzen, "Unscripting the Present" (SUNY Press, 2025)
Q: Can you talk a bit about the texts you chose and why?
Gitzen chose popular culture texts featuring queer male protagonists that reflect the navigation of sexuality amid insecure environments, focusing on relatable narratives.
Timothy Gitzen, "Unscripting the Present" (SUNY Press, 2025)
Q: Can you talk a little bit about how adults are trying to stop youth from becoming sexual beings?
Gitzen articulates that the panic leads to a securitization of future concerns that ultimately displace the present, revealing a societal fear of queer youth exploring their sexuality.
Timothy Gitzen, "Unscripting the Present" (SUNY Press, 2025)
Q: Could you start out by just sort of giving an overview of the book, how it came to be, why you decided to write about this?
Gitzen explains that the book was conceived during COVID while he was in Hong Kong. He began researching media representations of queer youth against the backdrop of legislative changes, particularly in Florida.
