In each episode, we host a conversation among artists, educators, and activists about events in the current news cycle. Our guests illuminate the structural forces shaping the present moment and share examples of historical and contemporary activism, helping us understand how we got here and inspiring us with actions we can take to move forward.

The podcast is hosted by Dr. Felice Blake, senior editor of Kalfou: A Journal of Comparative and Relational Ethnic Studies, and co-produced by Felice Blake and Rose Elfman.
Episode 1. "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.
