Antija Allen and Justin Stewart talk about their book, We’re Not Ok: Black Faculty Experiences and Higher Education Strategies, on episode 409 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

We’re not ok but we’re not always comfortable telling people we’re not ok.

I don’t want my students to be shocked that I am black and that I am teaching them.

A lot of people don’t know what we are going through as black faculty because we are so resilient.
