Dr. Christopher Bell is a culture consultant at Skydance, Disney, and Pixar as well as a Associate Professor of Media Studies at C.U. Boulder, “Harry Potter” scholar, and all around nerd. His TED Talk, “Bring on the female superheroes,” asked where were all the strong women in modern media? And where were all the toys, games, and costumes to accompany such characters?

In this episode of “Looks Like New” Dr. Bell discusses how modern technology allows scholars and academics to turn to audiences beyond the classroom, both directly through content of his own making and as the informed voice of accountability in his role as culture consultant.
