Dr. Beth Hubble, Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies professor at the University of Montana, is back for round two! Regular listeners may recall that Beth previously joined us to talk about transgender histories, but her first love is French medieval literature. If you have listened to her first episode, she mentioned that she has a tattoo of a quote in old French - which she reads, and that is quite possibly the biggest nerd flex I’ve ever heard, and I talk to a lot of nerds. So she’s here to regale us with a more in-depth conversation about 12th-century poet Marie de France, the first named poet in old French, originator of her tattoo quote and the reason Beth has a crocheted werewolf wearing trans pants on her desk.
