    S05 Episode 2 - Belonging in STEM

    I’m pretty excited about this episode. My friend Kori, and former kickball team mate, also happens to have a PhD in Educational Psychology and every time I talk to her I am amazed by her wisdom. In this episode, we delve into research on belonging in STEM through a critical lens. The discussion reveals that the view of STEM as inherently objective, rational, and logical is a cultural assumption rooted in whiteness, which can exclude people of color and other ways of knowing, such as indigenous perspectives. By examining how systems of power impact context and belonging, particularly for Black and Latina students, we aim to challenge and deconstruct these prevailing perceptions in STEM.

    S05 Episode 1 - The Perception Gap

    Wow, we're back, everyone! I may have convinced my wife, Kim, to join me as a permanent co-host! For those who don't know her, Kim is a brilliant scholar and human being. She's got a background as a creative director for our UX design studio back in the day and in non-profit management. She received an MA in Education from VCU in Culturally Responsive Leadership. Today, we're surveying the upcoming season and briefly touching on the concept of the perception gap. First, from a theological perspective, and later we apply it to a modern concept. I'm so happy to be back with y'all! Follow Kim on IG @kim_van_essen Get full access to Like Quiche at www.likequiche.com/subscribe

    S04 Episode 4 - Upholding Harm

    In this conversation, Emily Paulson discusses her journey as a recovery advocate and her experience with multi-level marketing (MLM). She shares her involvement with the Sober Mom Squad, an online community for moms struggling with alcohol use. She explains what MLMs are and why they can be harmful and reflects on her own participation in an MLM and the realization of her complicity in upholding harmful systems. Emily emphasizes the importance of sitting with discomfort and recognizing the nuances in complex issues. She encourages individuals to challenge assumptions and strive for a deeper understanding of the systems they are a part of. Takeaways Recognize the harm that MLMs can cause and be cautious of their predatory nature. Engage in open and honest conversations about complicity and the systems we participate in. Sit with discomfort and embrace ambiguity to foster personal growth and understanding. Challenge assumptions and strive for a deeper understanding of complex issues.
