QUEERING THE STAGE
Welcome Back!
Join Lily and guest ethnomusicologist, Becca, at the intersection of academics and artists where they muse on the rising queer band, boygenius, and the context that brought them into the light. This episode detangles the social structures that exist both within the band and between artist and fan and why those may exist. Lily defines such concepts as hegemony, agency, cultural capital, and performativity as they relate to all things boygenius.

LIFE AND ANTH: JOIN US IN MYSTIFYING THE ORDINARY!
Everyday life can start to feel a little well...routine, but every once in a while, maybe you notice something small that makes you wonder why are things the way they are? Why can you buy CDs at coffee shops? These moments are called ruptures, and they're a gateway to thinking about larger cultural norms that impact our everyday lives.
My name is Lily Forrester and I am the host of the new anthropology podcast series, life, and Anth. On our show, we talk about phenomena small and large. Why do some colleges have great relationships with their surrounding towns and others not? How is power demonstrated in a recreational fitness setting?
We have so many questions to answer and so much anthropology to learn, and you can join in our music on your favorite channel to listen to your podcasts. We'll see you there. -
