There are many people in and across the University who are driving change. In this special changemaker podcast series, we shine a light on some of our Black academics and the excellent work they are doing in the university and outside to help drive change. In this episode, Xavier talks to Shawn-Naphtali Sobers about his work and how he is driving change.
Shawn and Xavier talk about the importance of role models and learning about your community. They also discuss Shawn’s book “Black Everyday Lives, Material Culture and Narrative: Tings in de House”
