Finding Safety in Fairy Tales with Dr. Michelle Anjirbag (Part 2)

Welcome back to The Cop and The Comic! In today’s episode, we’re switching gears from the serious world of law to the enchanting realm of fairy tales—where safety takes on a whole new meaning.

I’m excited to be joined by fantasy expert Dr. Michelle Anjirbag as we explore the stories that have shaped our childhoods and beyond. Ever wondered why Cinderella has so many versions? Or whether we should let Pocahontas slide in modern interpretations? We’ll dive into these questions and more, examining the vital role of representation in fairy tales and how these narratives influence our worldview.

Disney, take notes!
