Blacktivism In the Academy The DREAM Collective & That Untitled Project

J.T. and Cherese hop on the mic with Gloria and we chat about who gets these gold stars and who or what "needs improvement". We also look back on the season's theme to wonder how our thoughts have evolved when it comes to imagining new futures for higher education.

Production note: This episode has some wonky audio so if you tend to listen with headphones, you may notice more volume extremes and slight noise than usual. This one is best enjoyed through speakers.
