Notes on this Episode:
In this podcast we use the term “female-identifying”, however, sometimes we do just say the word “women”, by which we mean it inclusively as anyone who identifies as female. We will continue to do our best throughout this podcast series to use the proper terminology and educate ourselves as preferred syntax continues to evolve.
Please note guests' opinions are their own and do not necessarily reflect that of Via Brooklyn and "Still...?!” The Podcast.
This episode of “Still…?!” The Podcast, “What Academia is STILL Like for Female-Identifying Academics,” was recorded on August 6, 2023, after the SAG-AFTRA strike of 2023 went into effect, and therefore the recording was created to be in line with strike rules regarding promotion of work.
You can find more information on the SAG-AFTRA strike here.
