Lorgia Garcia-Pena was a respected and beloved professor at Harvard University.  There, she says, she and her predominantly Latinx students faced consistent scrutiny and surveillance from the Harvard campus police. 

We talk with Lorgia Garcia-Pena, author of Community As Rebellion: A Syllabus for Surviving Academia as a Woman of Color and Mellon Associate Professor of Race, Colonialism and Diaspora Studies at Tufts University, about her experiences at Harvard with campus police and later being denied tenure there.  We also explore how those events informed her latest book on building communities of rebellion.
