Join us for a conversation with Dr. Elliott Powell, a friend and author of the newly released book Sounds from the Other Side: Afro-South Asian Collaborations in Black Popular Music. Here, we ask Dr. Powell about the significance of interracial solidarities, genealogies over trends, and the power of the spiritual and erotic when we consider music as a form of world making and connection. We’re inspired by Dr. Powell’s analysis of reading and listening to John Coltrane through the cultural politics of James Baldwin’s life and hope you enjoy. Sending peace, love and good vibrations!

Voyaging into the Academic Void - Final Project:Podcast

A reminder that if you ever feel stuck... from the mud, grows the lotus. 
El Viento puede aclarar nuestra vista, pero a veces las nubes pueden dejar nos algo bello con su despedida.

“The Alchemist Manifesto: A Podcast with Mario Obando and Daniel Topete” is dedicated to two friends holding space and making time to have holistic and humanizing pláticas and charlas with the aim of alchemizing our individual experiences into shared healing and wisdom. The amistad that produces this podcast emerges from our shared commitment to social justice, as teachers and scholars in the fields of critical and relational ethnic studies, and of course, our creative and everyday efforts to imagine better worlds with our loved ones, communities and spirits.
