Transcript available here.

In this conversation, brought to you from our archives, PK and Kristen talk about the trials and tribulations that racialized and first-generation students often encounter in their pursuit of higher education. We will be back next week with a regular episode.

Resource List:

1. Navigating Racism: Black Graduate Students Need Support by Anita Jack-Davies. 
2. The Equity Myth by Frances Henry et. al.
3. Talking about Race by Carl James
4. Too Asian?: Racism, Privilege, and Post-Secondary Education edited by Davina Bhandar, Jeet Heer, et. al.

Do The Kids Know? is a series of conversations between friends, Prakash and Kristen, where we challenge our understanding of contemporary media, popular culture, and what it means to live as racialized millennials in KKKanada (That’s Canada spelled with three K’s) 

Our goal for this series is to have frank discussions about the stories and nuances missed by sensationalist media as well as to uncover the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is shaping our movements and behaviours. 

Keep tuning in to be a part of the conversation… don’t be a kid who doesn’t know!

Our goal is to bring nuance to sensationalist media as well as to uncover the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is shaping our movements and behaviours.
