YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This week, we're asking: do the fantasies we read in romance novels say anything about what we want in our real-life relationships? Devoted readers share how the genre has impacted their love lives. Then, host Brittany Luse sits down with writer Rebekah Witherspoon to learn how she builds a world of desire.

Then, we talk to Dr. Gale E. Greenlee, teacher-scholar in residence at the bell hooks center in Berea Kentucky, about lasting impact of bell hooks' work, and how she changed the way we think about love.
