Bob Dylan’s fluid and mercurial shifts in identity performance are a hallmark of his career. A closer investigation of his gender identity performance contextualizes how he conforms to and rebels against traditional constructs of masculinity. In this episode, Laura Tenschert, talented musician and creator and host of the Definitely Dylan podcast, discusses the essay on Dylan and heroes’ journeys she was preparing to present at the Bob Dylan: Questions on Masculinity conference in Odense, Denmark and themes of Dylan’s gender identity and performance in his life and work.

Definitely Dylan, her podcast about Dylan's work and the creative process, has established Laura as a leading voice in Dylan studies, as the episodes take the listener down various fascinating Dylan rabbit holes. Laura also serves on the boards of the Institute of Bob Dylan Studies at the University of Tulsa and the Dylan Review.
