This first episode of What a Body Can Do is an audio essay about ideology and why it doesn't exist. 

Our ideas are not just in our heads, and our actions affect more than our own bodies. When the distinction between mind/body, individual/social, personal/political starts to blur, we need new language. This episode explores "ideology" in general-  and whiteness in particular-  as constructs that can be and need to be deconstructed.
