DREAM Collective’s Next Podcast, “Big Momma Knows. You Don’t.”
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, Nov. 19.
Episode 10, “Big Momma Knows. You Don’t.” will feature an anonymous scholar who chooses to go by the letter “E.” “E” is involved with scholarly work to destabilize the neo-colonial space in academia. The scholar will join J.T. Snipes, PhD, DREAM Collective member and assistant professor in the School of Education, Health and Human Behavior’s (SEHHB) Department of Educational Leadership. Their discussion will be about the types of knowledge that are valued in higher education, the notions of ancestral knowledge and wisdom, and how the academy may fail to recognize them, and why Big Momma would say to all the PhD’s, ‘You don’t know nothing!’”
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.
DREAM Collective members include education faculty Jennifer Hernandez, PhD, Jessica Krim, EdD, J.T. Snipes, PhD, Nate Williams, PhD, and School of Education, Health and Human Behavior Dean Robin Hughes, PhD.
