In this week's episode, Kiloni and Khadija are joined by the student leaders from the Graduate Women in Science and Engineering (GWISE), Abby Rendos, Natalie Vaisman, and Jillian Rix to 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.
