Dr. L’s Podcast

During the height of the Floyd Protests, I reached out to fellow podcasters to ask the question, are we getting distracted from the important goal of police reform? Companies were looking to change the face of syrup bottles and the like. Statues were being torn down and mutilated. I wondered if any of these symbolic changes would lead to long-lasting changes or fizzle out the movement for reform. Take a listen to our convo.

Dr. Kelly Hope joined me on an episode to discuss women in academia. Considering the recent election of VP elect Kamala Harris I thought it appropriate to release this episode even though it was recorded before the election. We will speak about her career, women in academia, the struggle of educating inner city kids and number of other topics.
