Welcome to Swerve South! Join your hosts, Jaime Harker and Theresa Starkey, director and co-director of the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies at the University of Mississippi as they introduce their new adventure in podcasting. Swerve South is a non-mainstream look at the world through the lens of the rebellious, unexpected, radical space of the Deep South. In this introductory episode, your hosts discuss their intentions for the podcast: to veer from the norm and discuss all things feminism, multicultural, pop culture and queer. Deviate from the doldrums and take a breather with us each week for lively discussions and interviews from visitors to the university as we explore the intersections we all inhabit. Welcome to our world. It’s time to Swerve South!
