Transcript Now Online: Fandom & Race

It's live! We now have a corrected and updated transcript of the Fandom + Race panel online!

In this talk, Alfred Martin, Racquel Gates, Rukmini Pande, and andré carrington discuss how fandom is racialized, how race is addressed (and not) in fannish spaces, how and where people of color explore and express their fannish interests, how fans of color are responding to the media industries’ attempts at diversifying casts and narratives, how fan studies and critical race theory currently intersect, and their visions for the future of fan studies.
