Between Animagi, Werewolves, Metamorphmagi, Veelas, and Boggarts there is a lot to cover— and we need the Greeks, scholar Llewelyn Negrin, a history of Calvinism, and, of course, Judith Butler, to do it!</p><p><br></p><p>Join us for a discussion on shapeshifting, as we apply what we've learned from our episodes on lycanthropy, female monstrosity and animal studies, to take a closer look at Nymphadora Tonks, in particular. Let's get to know one of the most beloved queer icons from the Wizarding World a bit better, shall we?</p><p><br></p><p>Note: The sound on this episode is a little funky because we recorded it in-person! Just know that any hiccups you hear (other than the ones caused by Baby Blast-Ended Screwt) are the price we paid to enjoy one another's company during an in-person recording for the first time in two years!</p><p><br></p><p>***</p><p><br></p><p>We are running a <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/posts/very-merry-witch-59207789?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&amp;utm_source=copy_to_clipboard&amp;utm_campaign=postshare\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Holiday Patreon Drive</a>!
