Dr. Anu Taranath joins Matt from Seattle and they reflect on their time together in NYC at the WITS Travel Creator Summit, including Anu’s keynote panel that centered the genocide in Palestine and got a standing ovation from 600 people. Anu then talks about her experience navigating racism while growing up in an Indian immigrant home in Houston. She
reflects on her trips back to India, her study abroad year in Delhi, her
academic journey, and how she eventually found the language to process racism, power inequality, and turn her immigrant diaspora identity into a superpower. Anu also reflects on her experience teaching in Seattle in the period after the September 11th attacks, and the importance of critical pedagogy for both teaching and learning. Finally, she reflects on the role of travel in her life and her teaching. Anu shares stories from her time in Ghana building connections with locals, and also reflects on her connections with the Indian diaspora communities around the world.
