Race, Cultural Appropriation, and the Liberal Artist (ft. D'Ondre Swails) | Ep. 68 Educated Guess :: A Liberal Arts School for the Future

In this episode, we are joined by D’Ondre Swails. D’Ondre is finishing up his Ph.D. at Brown University in Africana Studies. And, in true multidisciplinary fashion, we discuss (for ~90 minutes) how liberal arts fit into a modern capitalist economy.

Some of the topics we cover in addition to talking about this placement include:


Comprehending the modern definition of “culture” and what people get wrong about it
Understanding “culture” in terms of a knowledge base
Consuming art and design as a means of resolving racial tensions
Describing the generational link between Huey P. Newton and Tupac Shakur
Discovering why there is no substitute for the zeitgeist
Critiquing the nuances between “the culture” and “culture itself

Tune in.
