708. From the Vault: Sociology, Romance, and Community with Drs. Jen Lois and Joanna Gregson
Smart Podcast, Trashy Books: A Romance Novel PodcastShow Notes
Thank you for joining me for a “from the vault” episode! This is episode 147, originally aired June 26, 2015, so almost 11 years ago.
Drs. Jen Lois and Joanna Gregson did a multi-year study on the community of romance authors and I have never stopped thinking about it. In this conversation, we’re talking about that study, what they learned about romance as a community, especially about gender dynamics.
You can find their published work based on this study in the following articles – these link to the abstract because I don’t have a membership to this academic database.
