AOC, Descriptive Representation, and Performative Politics
Manage episode 302976649 series 2979850
Last week Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attended the Met Gala wearing a gown with “Tax the Rich” on the back and this gained the attention of every single media agency in the country. In this episode, we discuss her appearance there, as well as descriptive representation and whether her appearance there will move the political needle towards more progressive economic policies. The guests on this week's program are Brandon Moore (a welder, photographer, and political activist from Russell County in Southwestern Virginia), Danielle Lemi (a Tower Center Fellow at the John G. Tower Center for Political Studies at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX), Michael McNulty (the Executive Director of the Pro-Art Association, an arts-presenting, non-profit organization in southwest Virginia), and Ivy Cargile (Associate Professor of Political Science at California State University, Bakersfield).
