Listen "How is Play Policed and Who Gets to Decide?"
Episode Synopsis
What are the implications of controlling play? Haeny and Nathan ask what forms autocratic control can take when it comes to play, when it comes from leaders like those in the government, and how that can be distributed to individuals regulating each other or censoring themselves. And they ask what can be done when people want to resist that control. For transcripts of this episode, to learn about our guests, and more, visit our website.
