From the Steve Hicks School of Social Work, Diane McDaniel Rhodes joins us for a fun, thematic discussion about young adult fiction as well as the problematic nature of beloved popular culture icons and the narratives they propound, albeit not on purpose. As Diane says, "We are all steeped in the same tea," authors such as J.K. Rowling included. Thus, in this episode, we ask the question: where did our society get it wrong and how do we reexamine the narratives we've so easily accepted? Thanks for joining us!
