"The only relationship I can have to the university is a criminal one": Safety, Repression, and Coalition with Amanda Ellis, Cherríe Moraga, Sherene Seikaly, Chelsea Lancaster, and Tara Jones

For our inaugural episode, we are joined by five extraordinary scholar-activists—Amanda Ellis, Cherríe Moraga, Sherene Seikaly, Chelsea Lancaster, and Tara Jones—for a conversation on how women of color in education are responding to political repression, past and present.  We discuss how our own educational experiences led us to political awareness, who is "safe" on campus and who is not, and how community, coalition, and art making help us imagine better worlds and build better futures.
