Academia. It is a site of exclusion. For those of us who are first-generation, who are racialized, who are women, and who inhabit social locations that are traditionally unrepresented in this space, academia is full of landmines. This is why we need academic aunties. This podcast will bring you stories and advice about how to navigate this treacherous world and maybe even plant the seeds for struc... more

Excellent insight into academia, especially for women and underrepresented faculty. Absolutely biased, because the podcast covers a biased topic, the subtle and overt racism and sexism many underrepresented faculty have experienced.

This podcast should be a graduate curriculum/faculty-admin training requirement. It makes me feel simultaneously seen and validates all of my own academic trauma, as well as enabling me to see all the different intersectionalities of oppression in the system I'm a part of.
