Our guest is Dr. Sofya Aptekar- As an Associate Professor of Urban Studies at the City University of New York, she uncovers society’s secrets, from gentrification in Astoria Queens to the complexities of immigration and the military. Her latest book, ‘Green Card Soldier.' unravels the fascinating complexities within the US military system, shedding light on a world often shrouded in mystery. With wit, wisdom, and a touch of humor, Dr. Aptekar and I ask the listeners to challenge perspectives and embark on an adventure of knowledge unlike any other.
