  • 111 - Where Are the Lesbians? Collab with Nuances Podcast

    I had the pleasure and honor of co-hosting an episode with Lazou in the Nuances podcast's new limited series called Queering Premodern Asia. Each episode explores different aspects of sexual diversity in premodern Asia with commentary from guest scholars. In this episode, episode 2 of the series, I had the pleasure of reading some ~very gay~ premodern Asian texts. In the end, Lazou and I discuss our initial thoughts and reflections on these stories.
