Black and Nerdy | |
| The Chair (2021) / int_38958f33 | comment |
Black and Nerdy: Yaz is a promising tenure-track English academic at Pembroke University. She's also the department's sole black woman, and a lot of her subplot is navigating the implicit racism and misogyny she faces from her older white colleagues. | |

Values Dissonance | |
| The Chair (2021) / int_9c6ba43a | comment |
Values Dissonance: Invoked. The 2020s English department members often need to discuss if entries in the literary canon like The Canterbury Tales or Moby-Dick are still worth teaching when they were written for audiences from centuries ago and their authors held outdated values. | |
