Episode 4: Aunrika Tucker-Shabazz


Listen Later


Welcome back to Tell Me More!, a podcast for amplifying the work of graduate students. In this episode, we hear from Aunrika Tucker-Shabazz, a fourth-year PhD candidate at University of Michigan Ann Arbor in the Department of Sociology focusing on gender, sexuality and family. Aunrika gives us an overview of her formative work on sex that happens at home as opposed to sexual harassment that happens on campus or the street or the workplace, as well as the academic silence over such sexual violence despite its appearance in popular, whitestream media such as Good Will Hunting and Game of Thrones. As such, please be aware this episode comes with a content warning regarding sexual abuse.

If you'd like to learn more about Aunrika and her work, Google her! And you can reach out to her at [email protected].
