Episode 67: #MedBikini, "Professionalism," and Power


Listen Later

Remember the #MedBikini saga? No? Well, we've got you covered, not just about the social media movement itself but the larger lessons it illuminates on power structures, social media etiquette, what counts as "professional" behavior, and why the word "political" is used to diminish discussions about social justice. Our all-star panel for the episode includes Dr. Kimberly Lumpkins, Dr. Shana Ntiri, and MS3 Leslie Galloud.
