Episode 3: Connecting Race, Place, and Capital with Dr. Bobby M. Wilson.

In this episode, hosts Alex Moulton and Brian Williams visit Birmingham, Alabama to revisit the work of Dr. Bobby M. Wilson. Dr. Wilson’s work was the subject of two panel discussions at the American Association of Geographers Annual Meeting in 2019. Titled “Reframing Marxism and Race: The Scholarship of Bobby Wilson,” the panels included Wilson in conversation with collaborators and interlocutors who reflected on his work and mentorship: Adam Bledsoe, Joe Darden, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Perla Guerrero, Wendy Cheng, Benjamin Rubin, and Willie Wright. The hosts discuss a range of topics, from the lineage of radical Black scholarship and activism with and through geography to the place-specific intricacies and intimacies of racial capitalism.
