Inquiry Taking Place

Don't call it a comeback: Olanis guides the podcast to a triumphant return :)

Inquiry Taking Place rises like a Phoenix from the flames of not publishing an episode for months and months thanks to a wonderful student named Olanis :) Listen in as she shares a bit about her time at ARC and her experiences talking about African-American history and racism in predominantly White spaces.

No Stone Unturned: White Jolly Land, Umoja, Asgardians, and Blade.

Get to know Denzel Phoenix a bit. This is a wonderful young man who's a student at ARC with whom I will hope to have many more conversations.

Zhanea and David are your conductors on the train to high blood pressure town :)

Zhanea shares a taste of some experiences she had in a class. My blood pressure goes up whenever I think about it. But this is exactly the kind of thing educators need to hear and consider. And if you hear this and you're like, "Yeah, that's how it goes sometimes," please let me know. I would welcome the opportunity to chat with you about why this sort of thing should be a concern.

Amazing Grace (man, these titles sometimes just write themselves :D )

I know, I know, I know, the title is super corny, but you listen to it and then try to tell me there's a title that would be more appropriate.

So, an English Professor and a Librarian walk into a podcast...

Professor Laflam and I talk about some of the books that have been important to us as we study equity and racism. And she patiently listens to me babble on about my concerns about the podcast. And she puts up with my starting these sentences with the word and (I don't know; is that something English professors care about?).
