Hello, world! The Hoo's At The Writing Center Podcast Team would like to formally take a moment to address some confusion or miscommunication from our first episode, "Anti-Racist Work in the Writing Center". Specifically about some of the terminology we used and the reason for our choice of sources. Additionally, unlike our usual practice, we wrote a specific script for this episode in order to better express our thoughts in an orderly fashion. We have the responsibility to remain as transparent as possible and hope to continuously review our earlier episodes and respond and update as needed as part of our growth as a Writing center podcast. We are so incredibly happy to be able to do this work and will continue to be open to feedback and ways to continue reaching out to Seattle U students through this medium. Thank you for listening and we'll talk to you next time!
For Reference, here are the quotes cited from the episode:
1. “Once we reconstruct and understand that institutional spaces must reimagine themselves to truly understand, integrate, and accept the diversity that exists in our world, we need new paradigms in order to enact that...If we don’t reimagine our institutional spaces beyond just the inclusion of having someone of a different race in the space, then we are not truly integrating anything.” (Why English Class is Silencing Students of Color | Jamila Lyiscott | TEDxTheBenjaminSchool, 2018).
2. "Diversity without changing the structure, without calling for structural formation, simply brings those who were previously excluded into a process that continues to be as racist, as misogynist as it was before." (University Speech, University of Virginia | Angela Davis)
