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.
