Maya Rudolph returns to host the Mother’s Day episode on May 13, 2024. We talk about anti-queer discrimination and communities of practice with the Opening Monologue, the intersection of occupation, gender, and ethnicity in Nurse Appreciation, and the unruly woman in Hot Ones with Beyoncé. Readings include sociological investigations of a Queer community in Mexico City, structural racism in the healthcare industry, and the social power of unruly women across cultures. Also recommended: Paris is Burning (1990), available via kanopy.syr.edu!
