Enjoy one of our favorite episodes so far! Carina Buzo Tipton, a third-year PhD student in Women, Gender, and Sexuality at OSU, joins Mia and Shaina to talk about Chicana feminisms. Carina shares her knowledge about curandisma, healing from institutional harm, and Chicanx brilliance inside and outside academia. Here’s a quotation Carina shared with us: “The university will use me alive and use me dead. The university does not intend to love me. The university does not know how to love me. The university, in fact, does not love me. But the universe does.” - Alexis Pauline Grumbs
