094 Karen Tongson - Greek to Me

Since we didn’t even go to a school with a Greek system, we
recruited USC Gender Studies professor and pop culture expert
Karen Tongson to join us on the show to discuss the Beverly
Hills, 90210 episode where Andrea meets an anti-Semitic
sorority president! Karen’s cultural study of Los Angeles’
sprawl, Relocations: Queer Suburban Imaginaries, is available on
Amazon. She can also be heard as a guest host of the Pop Rocket
podcast, and has contributed to the latest issue of the food
magazine Lucky Peach.


What we were drinking: Coke Zero
What we were eating: pastries from Porto’s Cuban bakery
