98. Can You Tell Intelligence By Someone’s Accent? Nope! A Response to a Hater
In this episode I riff off of a nasty review of this podcast, where someone basically said I sound like a dumbass due to my “valley girl accent.” Topics of discussion include: code switching; voice, class, and regionality; the performance of intelligence and how that intersects with respectability politics; and of course, I discuss my first book Witchbody and why it was (and still is) so important for me to make academic ideas accessible to every day people.
