"Folks are already in motion, what can I offer?" Michael Castañeda, Jonathan Gomez, Jose Lumbreras, and Colleen Murphy on Staying Grounded with Community

In Episode 2, scholar-activists Michael Castañeda, Jonathan Gomez, Jose Lumbreras, and Colleen Murphy join us to examine the complex relationship between ethnic studies departments and the communities we learn from, represent, and serve. We discuss education as a tool for both repression and liberation; steps toward building trust and cultivating a collective consciousness; and examples of work that gives us hope.
