In this episode of the Questioning Everything podcast, my guests, Celeste Cruz Carandang, Joe Sherren, and Mallory Ruymann discuss efforts to dismantle the many isms (i.e., racism, sexism, classism, and more) that plague the Arts world.

Celeste works at the University of Chicago where she received her master’s in Art History and where she oversees activities related to a Mellon Grant the institution received nearly two years prior. Joe has 7 years of experience working in small museums and historic houses as a Collections Manager and is an Adjunct Professor in Information Studies. Joe received his master’s in Art History from George Mason University. Mallory is a Jane of all art trades serving as an art historian, curator, art advisor, writer, and works as an Art Business Consultant to art galleries, art studios, and art organizations. In addition to these many positions and roles, Mallory is the Principal and Head of Curatorial Projects at a firm called Art Works. Mallory received her master’s in Art History from Tufts University.

In this episode of the Questioning Everything podcast, we explore the movement to remove Robert E. Lee’s name from Washington and Lee University. This contentious issue has long been discussed by students, faculty, and alumni alike. With the growing discord between political parties and the continued rise of domestic terrorism with members who are far too often draping themselves in the flag of the Confederacy, this issue of the school’s name has become too difficult to ignore. Will a name change help transform the culture of the institution to one that is more welcoming and inclusive or will it be a bandaid fix for issues that go deeper than Lee’s influence?
