Announcing: A New Podcast
In Bed With the Right is a new podcast from the Clayman Institute for Gender Research, launching July 2023. Hosts Moira Donegan and Adrian Daub welcome a range of scholars and critics to analyze right wing ideas about gender, sex and sexuality – and to plumb the ways in which these ideas persist in and shape our present moment. Please join us as we take deep dives into some old ideas that are unfortunately upending lives right now.
The first few episodes will stream with The Feminist Present. To continue, listen or subscribe directly to In Bed With the Right.
