I've been so impatient waiting for this podcast to come out, it's just so so good. I left this conversation with so many thoughts, questions, and ways of returning to my bookshelf. I'd bet it will be the same for anyone who listens. Worth your time.

Jervette R. Ward - Department of Black Studies, City College of New York Podcast Episode · The Black Studies Podcast · 11/19/2024 · 44m

This was a great conversation. Jervette joined CCNY to help re-establish their Black Studies program, which is amazingly important work. But also, somehow, in Harlem of all places, there was no Department of Black Studies for years and years.

A lot to think about in this, that story is part of it.
