Kardashian Kolloquium on Why We Can't Stop Keeping Up With the Kardashians
From Kimye's divorce, to the new Hulu show, North's TikTok and Kourtney's emo phase, whether you love to hate them or can't help but being obsessed with them, not a week goes by where we don't hear from the Kardashian family.
This week on the podcast we're joined by MJ Corey, founder of Kardashian Kolloquium, to break down why they continue to dominate celebrity culture, how she avoids unhealthy parasocial relationships with the family, and what draws her to applying academia to the very thing post people consider unintellectual.
With her work focused on studying the family through a theoretical lens via social media, MJ exists at the intersection of many things we look down on in culture: femininity, reality tv, and social media. Halima, Ione, and MJ break down why elitism is holding us back when it comes to social discourse, and why we should take online creators more seriously.
