Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 94 – When Immigrants Call the Police with Alexia Rauen
Q: Could you unpack that a little bit, just briefly what your organization does with these groups?
Advocates for Immigrant Survivors primarily files applications for immigration benefits for those who have suffered violence, including U visas, T visas, and VAWA applications.
Episode 94 – When Immigrants Call the Police with Alexia Rauen
Q: Could you talk a little bit about that civically engaged research model?
We aimed to keep the study as anonymous as possible, using an academic lead to ensure the participants felt safe and were not pressured during the study.
Episode 94 – When Immigrants Call the Police with Alexia Rauen
Q: Could you give us an idea of where this article came from? What was the origin of it?
The article originated from a desire to understand immigrant survivors' experiences directly by conducting interviews with them rather than relying solely on data collected from attorneys or advocates.
Episode 91 – Sexual Antisemitism with Aidan Beatty
Q: How do you tie together sexual depictions in antisemitism compared to anti-Black racism?
While anti-Black racism often leverages accusations of sexual impropriety, antisemitism has a historical link to economic resentment overshadowed by sexualized imagery.
Episode 91 – Sexual Antisemitism with Aidan Beatty
Q: What caused you to be interested in the subject of sexual antisemitism?
I started looking into it because I noticed a correlation between 20th-century antisemitism and sexual themes that had not been previously explored in depth.
