Kyra Gaunt (University of Albany), "Black Girls Twerking at the Intersection: On the Context Collapse of YouTube鈥檚 Content ID, Hip Hop Music, and Misogynoir"
This presentation explores the erotic autonomy of Black girls' and women's twerking as it intersects with the algorithms of YouTube, patriarchal music from the hiphop generation, and the racialized gender inequalities and anti-Black sexism found in the music industry. Think of it as Black Girls' #MeToo meets a Bechdel test for music's misogynoir. #MuteRKelly
