Ep 37. Hood Scholar ft. Dr Yusef

In this episode we sit down (virtually) with Dr Yusef Bakali to discuss his trajectory in academia as a teacher, researcher and scholar whose research focuses on road life. Hailing from a working class background, Yusef talks with us about the difficulties of being an academic and shouldering the labels he does, as well as his real social and economic realities despite the assumption that he is now 'very well off' because he is a Doctor.
