Global Student Protests

In this episode of the Round Room we explore historical efforts of student protests all across the globe. Join us as we go back in time to Mexico in the 1960s and the Movimiento Estudiantil, China in the 80s and the Tianemen Square protests, Iran in 2022 and the Woman, Life, Freedom Movement, and Kenya's current student movements starting on June 18th of last year. We would love to thank our writing team who put together the script for this episode: Styx Hatch, Audrey Collison, Ivan Andarza, and Sadie Scholl. And, of course, we'd love to thank our sound editors Colten Gottlob, and Nik Vyshinskiy To keep up with podcast updates, please follow @theroundroompod on Instagram.
