Episode Four: Survival Archives
This week I chat with James Carraghan about the multi-purpose space of the library, accessibility, and what it means to survive today. We explore some of the systems thinking characteristic of transformative justice while reflecting on our journey as workers who contribute to, manage, and explore archives in various ways.
In this episode Kailey Tedesco chats with me about writing and editing in public, approaches to ignoring shame, and revisiting reactions to traumatic events. We talk about how, in the current approach to harm, everyone loses and discuss Kailey's reimagining of fraught histories of the forsaken through her creative work, all while I grapple directly with a family story.
In this episode I talk with Zeny Recidoro-Fesh about fragmentation, locating and communicating the self, and the concept of "mutual regard." We talk about whether or not we can live without exerting our control and judgement on all creatures, and if my dreams of walking around in strangers' houses indicates I astral project as a cat.
Episode One: Educational Spaces
In this episode I talk with Dr. Wes Bishop about experiences in educational spaces, whether inside institutions, publishing, or community [or a combination]. We also talk about, interpersonally and systemically, whether we should always seek to repair relationships or "leave well enough alone."
