Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama currently in its 18th season on the ABC television network. From its premiere, the show has not only subverted norms with its female protagonist but has addressed numerous social topics from both entertainment and informational perspectives.
During the approximately 40-minute presentation, examples of how both the show and its fans have made a substantive impact on society will be discussed. From the place Grey’s Anatomy holds in scholarly research, how its fan passionate community interacts, and to the measurable social justice impacts the show has facilitated, the Grey’s Anatomy Effect, not only in pop culture, is a topic which even the non-fan will appreciate. A 20-minute Q&A segment is scheduled to allow for greater examination and discussion surrounding the how’s and why’s of the lasting legacy of Grey’s Anatomy.
This session will be taking place in UC 208, and is part of the JusticeCon event.
