Melodie Roschman: Scholar of Right-wing Evangelical Christianity, Gender, and Popular Culture

Dr. Melodie Roschman is a writer, academic, and the daughter of an Adventist pastor. Her ongoing research focuses on the intersection of popular culture and gender with right wing American Christianity. In our conversation, she reflects on her experiences as a young queer woman growing up in the Adventist church in Canada, as well as the links she sees between her personal experience and research. We talk about the relationship between personal and group identity, and ask questions of how we collectively navigate differences while struggling to agree on fundamental definitions.
