  • A must listen for higher ed professionals

    I love this podcast. As a higher ed practitioner working in engineering education equity, I require faculty members who want to partner with me to listen to this podcast. It is accessible and informative and so incredibly useful at translating theory and lived experience to actionable practice. I cannot recommend this enough. I am so inspired by Dra. Garcia and each of her guests. Bravo for bringing this work into such a mainstream space!

  • My first ever review

    Listened to all three episodes which made me pull out both my research journal and my big idea journal. If I wasn’t a fan-girl before I sure am now and have more HSI scholars to follow and learn and unlearn from about this big broad beautiful HSI landscape. Can’t wait for more episodes and learning.
