In a brief introductory overview to sex work, Judith and Elizabeth are back in the recording booth with a discussion on the sex trades, statistics, whorephobia, and sex workers’ rights.

Gun control, gun rights, the 2nd amendment -- what do they all mean? What’s the intended scope of the 2nd amendment, and what does our cultural landscape look like when we account for our disproportionate gun ownership rates? Co-hosts Judith and Elizabeth sit down to chat about these issues and more on the day of a shooting in Florida.

Judith and Courtney (Elizabeth) sit down at the beginning of the semester to chat about prisons. As Angela Davis asked, are prisons obsolete? Do prisons function in our society as intended? Judith, a prison reformist, and Elizabeth, a prison abolitionist, have a conversation about their opposing viewpoints.

It's the last episode of the semester! Courtney comes back with a teaser for next semester. Plus, she asks four students at IUPUI what news stories need to be discussed more.

Thanks for tuning in this semester! As always, we want to hear from you. Reach out on any of our social media or at our email and Judith or Courtney will get back to you. Have a safe and happy winter break and we'll see you next semester!

Hash It Out returns with a particularly timely episode this week. In the chaos of this semester, Judith and Courtney weren't able to get their earlier episode out this month -- but they're excited to share "Manifest Destiny: Justified and Inevitable?" today!

What exactly is Manifest Destiny? How does it play in to modern issues? They discuss holidays, Pocahontas, and pipelines.

As usual, we prepared a list of resources -- this time, it's intentionally short to encourage you to reach out to learn more from the people and organizations around you. Check the link here for a few resources: goo.gl/7wsFGk

Hash It Out returns with an episode dedicated to thinking critically about sexuality education, abortion access, and how different populations can get the information they deserve.

For non-normative populations, like queer people or trans folk, it can be hard to get medically accurate information. Doctors are legally required to provide false information to patients seeking abortions and most schools don’t mandate sexuality education at all. Courtney and Judith discuss these issues and also provide suggestions for places to find resources, which you can also find in the recommended reading document below.

This week’s episode of Hash it Out, “Culture is Not a Costume,” will help you navigate some of the tricky issues associated with the upcoming Halloween holiday (and all of the Pocahottie and sombrero costumes that come along with it.)

Cultural appropriation is usually treated as a 101-level topic and the conversation ends there. There’s plenty of reading you can do on what defines appropriation and who can and can’t wear certain items or partake in certain rituals. But Judith and Courtney tackle the topic from a different angle, taking it beyond the 101 course and into a more nuanced discussion.

Can you appropriate cultures by eating certain foods? Are fashion and art exempt from cultural appropriation? What’s even that harmful about wearing a keffiyeh, posing in a wheelchair, or tacking a bindi to your forehead for a photoshoot? Can non-White people appropriate from other races? We confront all of these issues and more.
