YouTube School for Social Politics with Dan S. Wang \\\ Red76



During Dan S. Wang's introduction to his video essay "A Hooters Universe," he makes it clear that theory is not at the base of his video essay. Instead Dan sifts through countless videos to create a multifaceted sociological portrait of the "restaurant" chain Hooters.

But as his compilation is based on one of America's most bizarre "family dining establishments," the discussion after the screening last night naturally lead to talks of sexuality/sexism, worker exchanges, Capitalism and how or why this franchise continues to spark such conversation.
