This is such a great episode of The Black Studies Podcast. Super interesting and smart insights from Noliwe Rooks, reflections from a long and important career in the field. Education, history, cultural studies, feminist theory ... her work really embodies so much of what the field has to offer.

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.
