In this episode, I talk with future Dr. Miguel Beltran. He is a system-impacted student-researcher who explores societal factors in relation to neighborhood dynamics, the culture of over policing, and the experiences of Chicano males. He reflects on his educational journey and the importance of remaining grounded as he pursued higher education from Los Angeles to Columbia University.
