In this introductory episode, Aime, Christine and C. Darius discuss the need for a coalition of BIPOC Academics in response to the prevalent problem of Higher Education not being able to address the disproportionally low rates of “secure” employment for BIPOC people, compared to the White population. A brief overview is given to the purpose of the podcast as a form to challenge status-quo, and not to placate the “illusion of inclusion” that has been controlled by Whiteness and commodified to assure reproduction of unearned privilege.
