Ep. 4 - 40th Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution 23.02.2019 58:20

This episode we’re talking about the recently belated 40th anniversary of the Islamic Republic of Iran, contemporary sociopolitical reactions to the regime, and Parisa‘s family’s experiences with the revolution and subsequent war. Spoiler alert: it’s not a fun anniversary.

Ep. 3 - 400 Years of Slavery 15.02.2019 51:56

In 1619, the first recorded slave ship came to the shores of America. Now, 400 years later, we're still contending with the legacy of slavery and forms of neoslavery that have come about after the end of the Civil War. Join us as we talk with Dr. Joanna Thompson, OML Director, about the legacy of slavery. Here's the link to our suggestion form: https://goo.gl/forms/2cleldfLawwLIJEs2

Ep. 2 - Athlete Activism 10.02.2019 34:32

Are you a big sports fan? Ever wondered about the history of athlete activism? In this episode, Kaylyn discusses the history of athlete activism, and recaps a little bit of the discussion that OML hosted with the Student Athlete Advisory Committee on sports, activism, and race!

Episode 1: Language And Identity 29.01.2019 57:42

Does language define your cultural identity? How important is language to your cultural identity, and can you express cultural pride without the language? Parisa and Kaylyn work through these questions and more! (And if you have your own thoughts after listening, make sure to come by our Difficult Dialogue this Thursday from 6-8pm in the OML Office!)
