Welcome to a special edition of Swerve South! This week, our episode begins with a little history and appreciation for those who paved the way for our generation of women’s and gender scholars. Theresa and Jaime start the episode with a little background on events hosted by the Sarah Isom Center for Women’s and Gender Studies to scaffold a discussion with Chócola, a Latinx band out of Charlotte, North Carolina. The band came to the University of Mississippi to headline the Sarah Isom Center’s annual “Sarahfest,” and took a little bit of time to sit down Theresa to discuss their new album, their path to music, and their artistic process. Join us for a fun episode that swerves to unexpected places! From a connection to second wave feminism and the creation of art, space, and place, to a discussion about the spiritual experience of making music, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!
