Episode 6: Exploring Ritu'elle'
This week we are exploring my most recent feat: my dissertation! Many of you have been asking for an explanation of what I was studying for over a year, so I thought I would wrap it all up in a nice holiday podcast mini episode gift for you. My master's thesis consists of a rewriting of the Catholic liturgy to argue that there is, what I define as, a "shared poetics" between Catholic ritual and queer poetry. Below you'll find a basic outline of the project you can follow along with while listening. Enjoy and please contact me if you would like to discuss anything further or collaborate :)
