Episode 59: I’m A F***ing Intellectual: Being Puerto Rican in Higher Ed

We welcome Dr. Lisa Calvente to the show. She is a Communications and Black studies scholar. We’re going to discuss her connection to the Notorious B.I.G., her work and research, her connection to Puerto Rican culture after her father’s passing, a lawsuit she’s filled against DePaul University stemming from her tenure process and a whole lot more.

Plus, we share details on the Paseo Podcast and 42 other independent media outlets coming together to save Chicago media.
