Code Switch cover art  Code Switch

  What's CODE SWITCH? It's the fearless conversations about race that you've been waiting for. Hosted by journalists of color, our podcast tackles the subject of race with empathy and humor. We explore how race affects every part of society — from politics and pop culture to history, food and everything in between. This podcast makes all of us part of the conversation — because we're all part of the story. Code Switch was named Apple Podcasts' first-ever Show of the Year in 2020.

  Las Doctoras

  Together, Dr. Renee Lemus and Dr. Cristina Rose host a podcast called Las Doctoras creating spaces for important conversations about the oppressive social dynamics that impact our world. Grounded in a connection to ancestral wisdom, we discuss ways to heal from the wounds of generational trauma. We talk with thinkers, scholars, mothers, writers, and other visionaries invested in interrogating and dismantling all structures of power such as white supremacy, patriarchy, and cisheteronormativity. We bridge our scholarly research as academics with our experience as Latinas, mothers, daughters, partners, and women to speak to the nuances and complexities of those intersecting identities. Our intention is to bring what we teach as professors in the university setting to a larger audience.
