Carrie and Megan talk with Dr. Joyhanna Yoo Garza, postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Anthropology at Harvard, about KPop, semiotics, cultural appropriation, and Ali Wong. We also discuss International Week of Deaf People 2021 and The genocide of signed languages: protecting the linguistic rights of Africa’s deaf children. One of our patrons sent in the correct pronunciation of her name. Thanks SZ! We're  an indie podcast with limited resources, so we could really use your support.
