Mimi Schippers and Jan Haaken on football cheerleaders and the labor of heterosexuality & gender
Jan Haaken talks (again) with Mimi Schippers about feminism and football. This time, they discuss cheerleaders, the role of female cheerleaders as heterosexualizing the sport, and the labor suits professional cheerleaders have filed against teams and the NFL. Mimi is Associate Professor of Sociology and the Gender and Sexuality Studies Program at Tulane University. Her work focuses on gender, sexuality, and culture, and she blogs at Marx in Drag.
