Ep 4: You can be an intellectual
from Wai? Indigenous Words and Ideas · host Arcia Tecun
In this episode I reflect on Ibram X. Kendi's commencement speech where he asks the question "are you an intellectual?". In hopes of broadening how we think about knowledge and who counts and what counts as intellectual, my educational journey is analyzed by contrasting the differences between school and education. The invitation is to include anyone with a hunger to know and ideas that exist beyond academic settings.
