Women of Color in Academia ~ a conversation bewtween Emalydia Flenory and Katie Hutchinson, December 2019. This interview was for a project in an Oregon State University Ethnic
Studies course. The idea behind the interview is that the conversation
would be an episode within a podcast series examining how we interact with
race and ethnicity on a daily basis. Podcast Description:
Are you a woman of color in academia who's TIRED? You're not alone! Join
Emalydia Flenory as she chats with fellow women of color who are trying
to navigate whiteness in academia as well as our white allies. Cracking
the Ivory Tower makes whiteness visible by discussing topics related to
white identity, whiteness in academia, racial fatigue, the emotional
burden that is placed on us as women of color, and the overall
tomfoolery of predominantly white institutions. Episode Description: In this episode,
Emalydia brings in Katie Hutchinson as her guest! They talk about the
labor black women perform when white spaces are in need of trauma porn,
expectations that (white) academia has of black women, bridging the gap
between the academy and the "real world" and their experience with being
bi/multi-racial in America. This interview is part of the Oregon Multicultural Archives Oral History Collection [01:21:57]
