On today’s episode, Matt
interviews one of his former students, Valeria Alvarado, an
immigrant rights activist and an undergraduate History major.
Val co-founded “We, Too, Are America,” an online platform dedicated
to fighting the current administration’s anti-immigrant
rhetoric. The two discuss the undergraduate History
experience, navigating the seminar as a woman of color, dealing
with tokenism in the classroom, and the importance of understanding
colonialism.
