DREAM Collective’s Next Podcast, “Justice or Just Us: Asians for Black Lives”
The DREAM (Dismantling Racism through Education, Advocacy and Mobilization) Collective at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville will air its next episode of the podcast, “Blacktivism in the Academy,” on Thursday, Oct. 22.
Episode six, “Justice or Just Us: Asians for Black Lives,” will feature Megan Segoshi, PhD, program lead for Scholar and Community Engagement at the National Center for Institutional Diversity, University of Michigan; and OiYan Poon, PhD, program officer at The Spencer Foundation.
Segoshi and Poon join the conversation to share their experience and research when it comes to combating racism in higher education. The conversation will center on racism-conscious admissions, attitudes towards affirmative action, and what a future of solidarity and racial justice looks like.
The podcast is for scholar activists by scholar activists, and encourages and facilitates learning, activism and anti-racist action. If you are seeking a community of like- minded scholar-activists, keep listening. Access “Blacktivism in the Academy” on Spotify and Stitcher. Featured will be prominent speakers from communities of color, who will address how to step out of the societal cyclical patterns of the past.
