    Episode 236 - Unsettling Ourselves

    Episode 236 - Unsettling Ourselves

    This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by professor and academic, Mohamed Abdou, for a discussion of decolonial theory and a reflection on how the framework of decolonization benefits pro-Palestine solidarity and organizing.
    Mohamed, one of three faculty members targeted and smeared during congressional testimony by House Republicans and the president of Columbia University, discusses the explosion of student encampments around the United States in support of Gaza, and the lessons we can learn not only about the farce of academic freedom but the impressive tenacity of students and what they are sacrificing. 
    We also learn more about the smeared campaign facing Mohamed, as well as the significance of Columbia University's connection to Israel which makes it a legitimate target of BDS.
    Follow Mohamed on Twitter @minuetinGmajor and Instagram @slightlydrifting, and sign the petition in support of Mohamed here.

Excellent, Informative

I’m proud to be a subscriber since the beginning. I always learn something when I listen to DYA and its amazing guests.

Never throws the baby out with the bathwater

So refreshing to hear a podcast that is both critical and generous, and highlights the anti capitalist work of often dismissed or marginalized movements by actually talking to organizers. There are so many demoralizing anti woke podcasts out there, it gets old fast. If you actually want to learn something constructive about what left movements are doing, and do it with good humor, this is a podcast for you!
