[EP3] Knowledge, Power, and Disciplinary Silos

In this episode, hosted on the Xicana Tiahui podcast platform, the Sandovalian Semillero Collective delves into Chapter 3 of Methodology of the Oppressed, discussing disciplinary divides in knowledge, what Chela Sandoval calls "the apartheid of theoretical domains." The collective considers Sandoval's notion of power and how it operates between the horizontal and vertical axes, suggesting how we must attune ourselves to both, not choosing either/or. By focusing on one's position, the collective also thinks how the personal is political.
