Welcome to the start of season 2! To get us started this season, we have a great interview with Michael Brandon Clark. Michael B. Clark (he/they) is a public health development professional with a deep commitment to social justice and community empowerment. Their academic and professional journey has been driven by a lifelong affiliation with the experiences of marginalized communities, particularly around issues of queer migration, harm reduction, and global health. Michael attended the University of Portland in the early 1990's! During their interview, they talk about their time as a young gay man at UP, their experiences with ROTC, and the intersections of cultural, sexual, and spiritual contexts and development in their life.

Jesper is a recent alum of UP ('24) where he majored in Environmental Science and minored in Spanish. Jesper was the vice president of Gender and Sexuality Partnership, and involved in a range of undergraduate research. Jesper can often be found at Forest Park studying plants.
