Join two recent(ish) queer Ph.D.s of color as we navigate the world of higher education. One is an English professor at a community college and the other teaching Latina/o/x Studies at a four-year public university. We present our unique perspectives on the shifting landscape of college in America and share our behind-the-scenes thoughts on everything – from the tenure track to conference etiquette to figuring out how not to get fired. Call it a learning experience. Email us: lotjpod@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you!

Lesson #40: Deep Breathing Exercises Are Key

We thank you for your patience during our short hiatus! We’re back and trying to make sense of all the things. Nic and James discuss the events of the recent weeks, including the overnight changes to Biden’s student loan forgiveness terms (do better!), the unsurprising “prestige hierarchy” of faculty life, and how to handle the mid-semester slump. We add a new segment to the mix. Listen now!
