Bonus: Crip Sexuality, Disability and Shakespeare - Alison Hobgood

In this bonus episode, I sit down with Associate Professor of English in Women's and Gender Studies at Williamette, Allison P. Hobgood. We interrogate how crip sexuality, disability and Shakespeare go together by looking at his play Measure by Measure. Through the play, we talk about how in Shakespearean times crip corporeality has always been there whether we realized it or not. This episode brought my love of history, disability and sexuality back together, and I had to share with you. Enjoy!
