Episode description
Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly discusses the history and institutionalization of Black Studies, the often overlapping relationship between anti-communism and anti-Blackness, and the 'elision' of political economy in capitalist academia.
Moreover, she also talks about 'academic McCarthyism', academic celebrities, ideological battles, and the current state of Black Studies.
