Welcome to the first episode of the Wonderful World of Disney Villains podcast!
*I discovered I make mouth noises occasionally so if you’re not into ASMR you may want to listen without headphones/earbuds.*
I thought I would start with my professional development workshop that kickstarted my blog and podcast. I present this workshop 2-3 times a year for students, faculty, staff and administrators at the college I work for.
I’ll be talking about:
• Disney villains - what defines a villain as a Disney villain?
• Representation - Stuart Hall’s binary form of representation
• Binary representation in gender and other social identities
• One sided story - where are the villains stories?
• Perspective - flipping roles (heroes as villains and villains as heroes)
• Everyone needs diverse representation even those who often see themselves represented in media
I mention the following media’s throughout:
• Once Upon a Time (the TV show)
• Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier by Team Starkid (on YouTube)
• Ted Talk: “The Danger of a Single Story” by Chimamanda Adichie
• Essay: “This is No Ordinary Apple”: Learning to Fail Spectacularly from the Queer Pedagogy of Disney’s Diva Villains by Mark Helmsing
• “In Defense of Villainesses” by Sarah Gailey on www.tor.com
• Social media account: @theconsciouskid
