Beyond the Shores with Dr. Tamara Walker: Exploring the History of African-Americans Abroad

I was joined by Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Barnard College of Columbia University and the co-founder of The Wandering Scholar, Dr. Tamara Walker. An expert on the history of African American expats and author of Beyond the Shores, we had an incredible discussion on some of history’s notable expats, comparing their decisions to leave the US to those of expats of our current era. We touch on her work making international education opportunities accessible to students from low-income backgrounds, intentional travel, and finding Black history wherever we go. Tap in.I’ve put together an itinerary pack that includes five different weekend friendly roadtrips hours from NYC. Take the stress of planning and packing off the table and focus on the road. https://travelnshitpodcast.com/travel-resources/roadtrip/Never miss a Travel N Sh!t beat!
