Our podcast playlists group our episodes under a specific topic or theme, so that you can easily jump in and start learning more about integration work.
This playlist helps you understand the concept of intersectionality. Intersectionality describes how race, class, gender, and other individual characteristics “intersect” and overlap with each other. In our episodes you’ll hear from experts, advocates, and community members about the concepts of intersectionality and about the impact of intersectionality on their real-world, lived experience.
S9E14 – The Intersections of Disability, Race, and Segregation
We often talk about school segregation from a racial and /or class perspective, but an equally concerning issue is the segregation of kids based on dis/ability. And while many disabled students are marginalized by our educational system, it is particularly true for students of color. It’s an overdue conversation for us on the podcast, and it’s an important one, because, as the conversation makes clear, all forms of oppression are linked together, and destroying one will require them all to fall.
S9E12 – School Safety: More Than One Dimension
School sh
ootings are the most obvious manifestation of an un-safe school, and while they are tragic, they are rare compared to the daily harms our school structures can inflict on students. Dr. Meg Caven joins us to encourage a broader, more holistic view of school safety.
S9E5 – Cathryn and the Saviors
What happens when a group of well meaning, and well resourced, parents enter an under resourced school in order to “save” it? For Cathryn, a low-income parent, she felt like she was being robbed of the culture and history of her school community.
S7E5 – Not Your Model Minority
We’re joined by educator, speaker, and professional development specialist Dr. Sarah-Soonling Blackburn to discuss the myth of the “Model Minority.” Dr. Blackburn talks about the personal and societal trauma of our racial hierarchy and what may be gained from unpacking and disassembling these old narratives in a way that gets us closer to collective solidarity.
Ep 7 – Vicky and The Saviors
In this episode, we talk with Vicky, a Mexican mom whose kids attend an integrated school in a gentrifying neighborhood. Vicky shares what it feels like to be “saved” by some of the White &/or privileged families at her kids’ schools (spoiler: not so great).
