You are listening to the Rachel Marzahn podcast, where we touch on intersectional justice issues. In our format, we read books. We talk about the books. And then we reflect on what we learned from the books and how to bring it back to our day-to-day work in higher education to be accomplices in social justice.

Today we will be covering the topic of Housing & Class Justice. The book we read covering this topic is “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City” by Matthew Desmond.

I am joined by three staff from Inver Hills Community College and Dakota County Technical College: Rachel Wood with Inver Hills Food Pantry; Jeremy Clark with the office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Justice; and Aria Kronebusch with the office of Financial Aid.  Each person comes to this discussion with a unique perspective based on their fault lines and in their roles within the college as they relate to student resources.
