Throwback Thursday part 1! OK, it’s been a while since we said that too… We are running back the “Racial Hierarchy” episodes for your .edu earphone pleasure. The acclaimed Dr. Liu joins us and breaks down white supremacy, how language changes to suit it, and how it’s all systematized. This is a jam-packed episode; no notes can do it justice!

• We unmask how white supremacy and masculinity are inextricably linked, and how BIPOC men’s identities and lives are policed through that lens. 
• Get ready to hear how the construction of a complicit middle class allows for the superiority of whiteness. 
• You get some important definitions this episode, including intersectionality and how it’s changed over time, white supremacy, white privilege. What is hegemony, again? Dr. Liu covers it all.
