3.7 Teens and New Adults in Libraries
You never have to apologize for your reading habits. Despite the halo effect that is given to people who say they are “readers”, the reading community is not one homogenous group; It is greatly fragmented and there is always drama and in-fighting taking place. I wanted to provide a defense for those who get ridiculed for enjoying Young Adult literature and show that these demographics are merely suggestions, not rigid rules to follow.

3.6 Warrant and Disability
Why is it so difficult to describe people in social classification? This podcast examines this topic through the warrant, meaning the lens used to make decisions about how to describe things in a classification system. Specifically, the experience of disabled people is explored using some of the most common sources of warrant, including literary and scientific warrant.
