Always Begin with Love

La Profesora kicks off Season 3 with conversations about finding love in a place like academia and what it means to navigate higher education as dual career couples. Guests Fabiola Mora and Dora Frias talk about being models of possibility, especially for queer Latinx communities. They also share important advice about setting boundaries regarding work so they can be present at home. Guests Dra. Susana Hernandez and Dr. Ignacio Hernandez share their journeys to becoming faculty and leaders both in their department and in the field of higher education. They offer important recommendations for departments working with dual career couples and the importance of valuing their individual contributions to scholarship, teaching, and service. Our Poet-in-Residence and in Resistencia, Sarah Gonzales, curates poetry by Julia Alvarez entitled "Locusts". Don't forget to rate and review the podcast!
