Ever watched, listened to, or read something and thought "Wow. There's a lot to unpack here"? We say that all the time and want to share with you our conversations unpacking the different parts of our culture and world which contribute to rape culture and continuous violence against others or the things which help us create a world where those things are less likely to thrive. Join the Phoenix Center at Auraria as we deconstruct pop culture and the world through an anti-racist, feminist, and anti-oppressionist lens. The Phoenix Center at Auraria is the interpersonal violence resource center serving the Auraria community.

  • Bluey & Healthy Relationships
    Mar 11 2026

    PCA Violence Prevention Educators (VPEs) Emily Grant and Alyson Doty discuss how the children's show "Bluey" models healthy relationships, boundary setting, and emotional intelligence. They highlight how Bluey's parents exemplify empathetic, patient, and emotionally regulated parenting for their children, Bluey and Bingo. The show teaches children the importance of repairing conflicts, setting boundaries, and respecting each other's feelings. It also challenges traditional gender roles by portraying both parents as active caregivers. Reflecting on episodes like "Yoga Ball," "Wagon Ride," and "Stick Bird," the hosts highlight how the show demonstrates practical ways to navigate boundary setting and emotions. Emily and Alyson emphasize the show's relevance to adults seeking to improve their emotional intelligence and parenting skills. Lastly, they focus on the importance of having fun as parents, educators, and adults through watching shows like "Bluey"!
