In this episode, we chop it up with Drs. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales and Christine Vega, both mothers and critical professors. We explore Coyolxauhqui and dismemberment, and its relationship to birthing trauma, particularly in the high-pressure pursuit of tenure in academia.
Allyson opens up about her personal journey through infertility, sharing the profound lessons learned and emphasizing the significance of rest in birthing endless possibilities. Christine adds her insights on the empowering role of Chicana Mother Work, underlining the critical interdependence between self-care and collective resilience.
Together, they unpack "mothering" as a revolutionary educational philosophy. They advocate for an authentic approach to teaching, emphasizing the need for comprehensive care for students, while challenging the constraints of schooling. This episode is a deep exploration of how mothering, in all its facets, can reshape and redefine the landscape of education.
California State University (Dominguez Hills) Professor Stephanie Cariaga, Ph.D., offers our final thoughts.
