Orange Is the New Black

Abstract: Like all human beings, television characters are intersectional, meaning that each of the identity categories ascribed to and performed by them, such as race, gender, age, and sexuality, are interdependent and thus mutually informing. In this essay, Mary Celeste Kearney demonstrates the use of intersectional television analysis via a close study of one episode and one character from Orange Is the New Black.
