Lisa M. Stulberg - How to Win a Culture War

From the venue:

The unquestionable runaway television hit of late 2025 was Crave/HBO Max’s “Heated Rivalry,” a show that tells the love story of two queer ice hockey players. This show-and the wider social context around it-would have been unthinkable without the courageous writing, art, and advocacy of previous generations of LGBTQ+ people and their allies in the entertainment industry. In “How to Win a Culture War,” sociologist Lisa M. Stulberg argues that, despite substantial barriers, past and current creatives and athletes are changing American culture through their contributions to arts, sports, and politics.
