This week’s episode is about anti-Black racism - what is it and what does it mean for a more inclusive society? Unfortunately, even after the Civil Rights Movement in the US, Black Lives Matters, and countless acts of civil disobedience and protest, racism persists in Canada and the world. More recently, we have been hearing about concepts about anti-Black racism, but many people do not know what this means. We thought this topic would be important for students who want to become Black allies and do what they can to fight against structural racism.

Today’s podcast guest is Jemimah Amos, PhD candidate in Sociology at the University of Windsor. Her PhD dissertation focuses on the encounters of African immigrant women with the labour market in Canada. She adopts an approach that reiterates the intersectionality of race, gender, and class. Jemimah is also working with a research team to develop an online course that will teach students how to effectively intervene when they witness an act of anti-racism.
