In this week's episode of Stories of Intersectionality, Kiloni and Khadija are joined by Boston University's inaugural Director of Programs in the Office of the Associate Provost for Diversity & Inclusion, Dr. Alana Anderson, and U.S. historian Dr. Paula C. Austin, Assistant Professor of History and African American Studies. In this episode, our hosts and guests discuss how intersectionality plays out in higher education and the impact that the "othering" of some identities can have on Ph.D. students. This episode also examines the existing institutional barriers and the different ways that the BU community can disrupt the inequitable practices and policies that limit students' success.
