This week César, Sonny, and Casey discuss queer and LGBTQ+ identities and the curriculum and instruction in schools. This is a very interesting episode that covers many topics: queers in the 80s and 90s, Drag Races, and TikTok. Although the episode is fun and light-hearted but also very when discussing topics like slurs, representation, and trans-exclusive legislation being propagated across the country. 

In class, we spend one week reading and reflecting on the work of those who are part of the Chicana Feminist Epistemology tradition. The group that signed up to produce the podcast this week all identify as Hispanic or Latinx or Chicana or Mexican American or are in their own journey figuring out where they fit. So for this group especially the readings really resonated with them. The episode they submitted was about two hours long because they interviewed two amazing women in their quest to know more and better understand the ideas they read about. After listening to the episode I decided it would be better to split the episode into two episodes so that I could honor the work they did and share their conversations in full with limited edits.

In this second episode, Eli, Kat, and Linda meet with Anell Flores a local educator, author, artist, and activist to give the hosts an idea what happens when theory becomes a way of life.
