Heteronormativity and Tween Culture

Created by Lindsay Pond
In this podcast, Lindsay explores how tween culture is shaped by adult attitudes towards sexuality. She draws on the article "Sex in Public" by Lauren Berlant and Michael Warner (from Simon During, ed., The Cultural Studies Reader) to analyze how heteronormative hegemonic systems impact how society views non-heterosexual identities in children and children's culture.
