BIOGRAPHY:
Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor specializes in 19th-century U.S. history and race. Her first book, Colored Travelers: Mobility and the Fight for Citizenship before the Civil War, is a social history of black activists who, long before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, fought against segregation on public vehicles. Pryor argues that their protest elevated the cars, compartments and cabins of public transportation to the frontlines for the battle over equal rights in the 19th century. Her essay, “The Etymology of [the N-word]: Resistance, Language, and the Politics of Freedom in the Antebellum North,” won the Ralph D. Gray Prize for the best article of 2016 in the Journal of the Early Republic. Her next project, inspired by the article as well as her teaching at Smith College, is a historical and pedagogical study of the n-word framed, in part, by her experience as a biracial woman in the United States.

In the classroom, Pryor is interested in questions of citizenship, race and racism and the history of U.S. slavery, looking carefully at how enslaved people's histories are remembered and who remembers them. Her classes are designed to help students make connections between the anti-blackness of the past and in the present. She is a recipient of a 2011 student-government teaching award and, in 2016, the Sherrerd Prize for Distinguished Teaching at Smith.

SHOW NOTES:
I started the year 2020 with plans to embody the word “intention.” With everything that has happened this year, I had to sit down and redefine my intentions of selecting the word intention. With much vulnerability, in this episode, I (un)pack my journey from the United Arab Emirates as I prepare for my departure to return home to the United States.

SHOW NOTES:
In this week’s episode, I invite you all to listen in as I grapple with this theory of emotional transnationalism. Thinking about things such as the term expatriate, being a Black expatriate, George Floyd, and public protests, I attempt to apply this theory in hopes to hear from you! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

SHOW NOTES:
In this week’s episode, John David Lewis and I discuss his chapter, The Rat Race, in the 2019 book Going Global: The Life-Changing Experiences of 10 Courageous Black Men. When discussing the blueprint of living in a rat race society, John said, “I did all of this in the States, to come over here [UAE] to find the American dream.” Sixth in the EDpat Literature Review Series*, Going Global focuses the perspectives of 10 Black men reflecting on financial, environmental, and circumstantial problems in the US as motives for their decisions to move to the UAE.
 
*The EDpat Literature Review Series are episodes dedicated to highlighting literature that focuses on the Black EDpatriate and Black travel narratives.

SHOW NOTES:
This is the fifth episode in the EDpat Literature Review Series, which focuses on documented literature that centers that Black EDpatriate and black travel narratives. This week we’ll hear from Dr. Karyn Flynn, an Associate professor in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies and the Department of African-American Studies Program at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Flynn received her Ph.D. in Women's Studies from York University, Toronto, Ontario. Her research interests include migration and travel, Black Canada, health, popular culture, feminism, and diasporic and post-colonial studies.
 We discuss her book Moving Beyond Borders: Black Canadian and Caribbean women in the African Canadian Diaspora, which was published by the University of Toronto and won the Lavinia L. Dock Award from the American Association of the History of Nursing.

We also discussed Dr. Flynn's current and second book project that maps the travel itineraries of young Black EFL teachers across borders. This is significant because Dr. Flynn wrote the forward for the book TrailBlAsian: Black Women living in South Asia, which includes narratives from some Black EFL teachers in South Korea. If you haven’t listened, be sure to go back to episode 39, an interview with TK Mclennon, the curator of the book Trailblasian and episode 41, an interview with Kenya Evans, one of the book chapter authors. I hope you all enjoy the episode as much as I do. Without further delay please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Karen Flynn.

SHOW NOTES:
In the previous episode, I shared a story about my recent personal experience in a romance scam with Kevin G. I received several responses from personal stories to those who simply wanted to express support. Thank you.

In this week’s episode, rather than focusing on how to avoid a romance scam, I came together with K.D. Caldwell, the author of the book When Swiping Right Went Wrong to discuss the “how and why” as it relates to both of us finding ourselves entangled within similar situations— romance scams initiated over dating apps. 

BRIEF BIO:
K.D. Caldwell (she, her, hers) is a New York based counselor, academic advisor, and business owner. Featured on multiple news outlets and at your nearest event with her Photobooth business, writing a novel was always on her bucket list. With her latest book When Swiping Right Went Wrong that dream became a reality. When not absorbed in the latest gripping page-turning book, K.D. loves cooking, working on her businesses, and traveling the world.

SHOW NOTES:
Have you heard any stories about romance scams abroad?
Want to hear mine?

This week's episode was inspired by an article in Travel Noire. Kesi Irvin shared a story about being in love in Kenya and discovering that it was all a lie. I felt empowered through her story to share my own. After you listen to this episode, if you're interested in learning more about romance scams, search "romance scam stories" on Youtube.

SHOW NOTES:
Because of my experience teaching abroad, I’ve been approached by many people interested in tips for navigating the international school market. There are many recruitment agencies and resources out there so I’ve developed a series of themed episodes called The Aspiring EDpat Toolkit. Through conversations with EDperts, experts who provide details and resources about education abroad, these episodes are where you want a pen and paper handy because there is a lot of useful information shared.

This week’s episode is with International School Services (ISS) a nonprofit organization well known in the international school market. I spoke with Laura Light, the director of global recruitment, Dana Specker Watts, the director of research development, and Joanna Lombartni, a recent employee at ISS, to discuss the benefits that ISS offers to assist with searching for opportunities within educational occupations abroad. They also shared a bit about their personal experiences within teaching abroad. Without further delay, please enjoy my conversation.
