From Match.com to Tinder, there are all kinds of ways single people meet each other in today’s tech-driven world.

As dating has changed throughout American history, people have questioned matchmaking practices. Weigel joins us Friday to explore the transformation of dating. Her book is called Labor of Love.
Moira Weigel is a Comparative Literature PhD candidate at Yale University examining film, media theory, and gender.
