Happy to share this podcast Interview that took place during the pandemic on Ethnic Studies, CRT, and where we should be headed in education with Dr. AbdÃn Noboa-Rios and Dr. Tony Baez. You can link directly to this interview below or view it here on Youtube.
I listened to it recently and happened to like my responses to Drs. Noboa-Rios and Baez' questions.
As I think about Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory (CRT), my biggest concern is not solely with the mischaracterizations but also with the anti-intellectual agenda of not wanting to know minoritized or subaltern voices, histories, cultures, languages, identities, ways of knowing and so on when so much of what they're about is redemptive, intellectually expansive, and fully enhancing of everybody's lived experience. I speak of these kinds of things in the podcast.
Someday, Ethnic Studies will simply be called "a good education." Check out the Educa K-16 Podcast sponsored by the The DoMas Group and the various interesting interviews they've gathered over the years.
