  • 1 2019 Gally Academic Track Friday, February 15
    2019 Gally Academic Track Friday, February 15, 2019 3:00-3:15 KEYNOTE “The Fandom Hierarchy: Women of Color’s Fight For Visibility In Fandom Spaces” Tai Gooden Women of Color (WoC) have been fervent Doctor Who fans for several decades. However, the fandom often reflects societal hierarchies upheld by White privilege that result in ignoring and diminishing WoC’s opinions, contributions, and legitimate concerns about issues in terms of representation. Additionally, WoC and non-binary (NB) people of color’s voices are not centered as often in journalism, podcasting, and media formats nor convention panels as much as their White counterparts. This noticeable disparity has led to many WoC, even those who are deemed “important” in fandom spaces, to encounter racism, sexism, and, depending on the individual, homophobia and transphobia in a place that is supposed to have open availability to everyone. I can attest to this experience as someone who has a somewhat heightened level of visibility in fandom as a pop culture/entertainment writer who extensively covers Doctor Who. This presentation will examine women of color in the Doctor Who fandom in terms of their interactions with non-POC fans and difficulties obtaining opportunities in media, online, and at conventions. The show’s representation of fandom and the necessity for equity versus equality will also be discussed to craft a better understanding of how to tackle this pervasive issue. Other actionable solutions to encourage intersectionality in the fandom will be discussed including privileged people listening to WoC and non- binary people’s concerns/suggestions, respectfully interacting with them online and in person, recognizing and utilizing their privilege to encourage more inclusivity, standing in solidarity with them on critical issues, and lending their support to WoC creatives.

Available to order from www. USA customers can order this item from www. By www. Despite their appearance, the Cybermen are not robots. They were once humans, but have used cybernetic parts to replace limbs and organs, augmenting their organic brains with implants and computer programming. Categorised under: General toysToys. Is the box a promo image from before the release, cos the bust is different to the picture Neck design, top of head etc. The Dalek is disproportioned but not badly. It is quite good quality for the money. The Tardis is very Doctor Who: Cyberman Bust and Illustrated Book especially with the light. Again good quality at the price. I wonder when someone will have the idea of producing a box set with a figure of every variant of Doctor Who: Cyberman Bust and Illustrated Book specifically for display…. Ive given up on Characters options and underground toys and whoever backs them completing the set now…. Saying that, it is fairly cheap. Ive got to say they can keep augmenting the cybermen as much as they like but they still dont look as good as the classic variations…. The old ones were best but the last design was ok. Cannot understand why change. The cybermen were just blend in my opinion. These new designs actually remind me of the classic series cybermen.

  • Transcript of Doctor
    1 You’re listening to Imaginary Worlds, a show about how we create them and why we suspend our disbelief, I’m Eric Molinsky. There’s a bar called The Way Station, which is near my home in Brooklyn. From the outside, it looks like a normal bar. But when you go in, something pops right out at you. A blue Police Box. ANDY: Every day I open up the shutters and I see her sitting in the corner it's just like I feel like home. That’s because the owner of the bar, Andy Heidel, is a huge Doctor Who fan. Even if you’ve never watched Doctor Who, you probably know that police box has something to do with it. You might also notice that Doctor Who is playing on the back wall, all the time – usually an episode from the mid 2000s when David Tennant played the Doctor. Every fan has “their Doctor.” David Tennant is Andy’s favorite. He’s my favorite Doctor too. ANDY: And nobody can say I'm sorry like Tennant like if I if I'm dying I'm on my deathbed I make a wish foundation that is for him to come and told me I'm sorry. THE DOCTOR: I’m sorry. I’m so sorry So what does the Police Box have to do with Doctor Who? On the show, it’s a ship called the TARDIS. And it may look like a police box on the outside but it’s optical illusion meant to disguise the giant space ship on the inside.
