June 18, 2024Morning Conversation
On this week's Morning Conversation, KXCV-KRNW news director Jeremy Werner talks to Northwest Associate Professor of History Dr. Elyssa Ford about her new book.
The book is called “Slapping Leather: Queer Cowfolx at the Gay Rodeo,” which was published by the University of Washington Press.
The 288-page book details the history and progression of gay rodeo, a group formed by members of the LGBTQ+ community.
In addition to describing the rodeo, which offers both traditional and camp events, the book discusses a variety of issues that have faced gay rodeo, including hypermasculinity, political and consumer power, AIDS and the position of women within the setting.
