‘I can’t unsee what I’ve seen
Discourse surrounding social justice pedagogy (SJP) as a means of addressing the historic inequities in education is increasing in education research. Qualitative research, however, examining experiences of educators doing SJP is still lacking, particularly in higher education. We trained three faculty instructors of undergraduate research courses in principles of SJP and several classroom activities grounded in these principles. Analysis of crit…
The American Barbecue Showdown (2020)
In the original Netflix competition reality TV series The American Barbecue Showdown, “eight of the country's best backyard smokers and pit masters vie for the title of American Barbecue Champion in a fierce but friendly face off.” A voiceover during the introductory episode proclaims that barbecue in America is “all about history and personal style.” That may be so, but this food competition show is light on the history of the foundations of coo…

Got Athletes? The Use of Male Athlete Celebrity Endorsers in Early Twentieth-Century Dairy-Industry Promotions
The now-ubiquitous “Got Milk?” mustache campaign of the late twentieth century features a number of celebrity athlete endorsers in its print advertisements. As innovative as this campaign was, the use of athletes to promote dairy consumption among Americans was not a new marketing trend; the dairy industry has, in fact, sought out athlete endorsers and associations with sport and physical culture since the 1920s. In this paper, I examine the dair…

A queer analysis of HBO'sFlight of the Conchords
The purpose of this paper was to engage in a queer theoretical reading of the HBO original comedy series Flight of the Conchords. We examine the ways that assumptions of heterosexuality and traditional gender roles are challenged, and show how alternative ways of performing gender and straightness are presented through the analysis of episodes and songs from the show. Both male and female characters serve as examples of the queering of establishe…
Tailgate Warriors
This study provides a textual analysis of the 2009/2010 Food Network series, Tailgate Warriors ( TW). The show features teams representing National Football League (NFL) cities in competition to determine who has the best tailgate fare. TW is part of an evolution in Food Network programming from an instructional model with a largely female audience to a competition-based entertainment spectacle geared increasingly toward men. Hegemonic masculinit…
