Drag Me to Cornell (ft. Gaby Kubi)

This week we had Gaby Kubi (@gabynotchatty on Twitter, @sugarkubi on Instagram) on to discuss her organizing with #DoBetterCornell (@dobettercornell and dobettercornell.com). We talked about the movement, its goals and the administration’s reaction. We also poked holes in some of the common myths in the discourse and concern trolling about campus activism, its methods and its perceived impermanence. For the Patreon subscribers, the post-game covers Gaby’s research on education and critical consciousness, which Sam manages to relate to the Sopranos somehow.
