For this episode, the HEART Podcast team reflects on an episode from our archives originally aired on June 4, 2021 called: Community Engagement & Antiracist Teaching. Our faculty guests, Dr. Danielle Filipiak and Dr. Johnny Ramirez, share the ways that they engage communities outside of the academy and empower youth to be agents of their learning and development. We also hear student perspectives from Marissa Martinez Suarez and Briana Aguilar, who discuss the ways that culturally relevant courses and campus activism have deepened their learning and led them to personal transformation. This episode highlights the power of faculty-student solidarity as it relates to community engagement and anti-racist teaching. Check out the recording here.
