Inside Out / Outside In

We kicked season 4 off with an introduction of our new co-hosts; Kristiana Beho, Alyssa Hernandez, Michaela Hilliard, and Erin Mckinzie. In this episode we discussed the process of preparing and taking the LMSW exam, test anxiety, education experiences, connecting with classmates as a cohort, future goals, and much more! Our next episode will focus on domestic violence for October's Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 

Following up from a previous conversation with students about hate crimes on college campuses, host Dr. Christiana Best sits down with two colleagues from the University of St. Joseph's, Dr Elba Caraballo and Dr. Nancy Billias, to discuss hate crimes, racism, implicit bias and micro-aggressions on college campuses from a faculty point-of-view.

Inside Out Outside In  - is framed around the themes of diversity, inclusion, and equity. Our goal is to educate, inform, and build community as well as inspire change. Today's episode is focused on hate crimes on college campuses, particularly as it relates to racial incidents. In the studio with me today are students Krystina Jackson, Matthew McClain, Vanessa Villar, and Sneha Jayaraj. They're here to share their experiences attending predominantly white institutions as students of color, particularly when there's a racial incident or a hate crime on campus. I'm curious to know where do they get the strength and fortitude to move forward in these critical times and what meaning do they take from their experiences  Resources for this episode:https://www.jbhe.com/2020/01/hate-crimes-on-college-campuses-and-in-higher-education-spaces/https://www.chronicle.com/article/Coronavirus-Is-Prompting-Alarm/247999https://www.npr.org/2020/02/05/802904167/watchdog-group-minority-college-graduates-may-pay-higher-interest-rateshttps://missoulian.com/news/local/university-of-montana-reacts-reflects-on-social-media-blowback-to/article_44d0b0fe-14c3-589f-8f37-904cf7ce2c29.htmlhttps://www.huffpost.com/entry/education-department-whistleblower-forced-out-transgender-students_n_5e336a7cc5b611ac94d1fb1dhttps://www.chronicle.com/article/Can-White-Resentment-/247921https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/01/30/boalt-hall-denamed/https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/01/31/berkeley-coronavirus-xenophobia/https://digitaledition.courant.com/html5/mobile/production/default.aspx?pubid=e1bdb9a0-d9e0-4569-842b-54331efd8091&edid=3271c395-b29c-4c50-9b11-c92c9ba52c60https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/ball-state-students-seek-retirement-of-cop-calling-professorhttps://fox61.com/2020/01/29/attorney-general-tong-opens-investigation-into-former-hartford-clay-arsenal-apartments-landlord/http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/slave_play_Hamden/https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-news-uconn-racial-slur-lawsuit-20200114-eaigon2lybeu7buuq3gucurwce-story.htmlhttps://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-news-uconn-racial-slur-lawsuit-2
