This episode of the Freedom Plow looks at radical self-care and blacks in the academy. Our guest is Dr. Julia Jordan-Zachery. She is the Chair of the Department of Africana Studies at the University of North Carolina – Charlotte. She is the author of numerous publications including Shadow Bodies: Black Women, Ideology, Representation, and Politics and Black Girl Magic Beyond the Hashtag (co-edited with Duchess Harris). Much of her work inside and outside the classroom has focused on radical self-care and work-based trauma impacting African Americans and women. In 2018, she facilitated a webinar on self-care for Ideas on Fire, an academic publishing and consulting agency.
