In this episode, guest co-hosts and PhD students Natalie Araujo Melo and Stephanie Jones talk with Dr. Nicki Washington and Shana V. White about resisting institutions, namely resisting academia, problematic K-12 norms, systems of power and oppression, and other harmful spaces. Tune in as they unpack resistance, rest, and refusal.

We encourage you to engage with the resources in Part 1 (available on our website!) to become more familiar with the topic of resisting institutions before engaging with this kitchen-table talk. The resources were curated by our kitchen-table talk guest speakers and hosts– among many others, the resources they share have helped inform their scholarship and their own lived resistance.

If you'd like to contribute to an episode's follow up (part 3, coming out in March!), please feel free to reach out to us. We'd love to feature art, poetry, think pieces, and other forms of media inspired by the conversations from our podcast!
