This bi-weekly podcast is dedicated to cultivating the uplift for Latinx/a/o communities in higher education. Too often, the assets that we bring from family, home, and community are disregarded and ignored in higher education. La Profesora, Dra. Michelle Espino Lira, talks with students, faculty, administrators, and community activists about the ways we can push against oppression in higher education and society at large. By focusing on the ways in which we can uplift our gente to and through higher education, we will find our way to thrive.
