The Huskie Conversation Café podcast are designed, produced, and hosted by Academic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ADEI) staff. Our objective is to provide Conversations that Matter focused on social justice themes, books, and content in an online format each season. Podcasts provide an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to listen and learn from guest experts, and sometimes, the authors themselves.
Listeners will gain familiarity and understanding with the concepts of cultural competence, social justice, activism, and equity through this podcast. Listeners can reach out to ADEI staff with questions or concerns.
The inaugural podcast season provides 12 primary episodes and 12 supplemental episodes. The primary episodes are focused on exploring critical and topical themes in the Common Reading Experience - NIU - Northern Illinois University book, "When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir", by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele. The episodes provide in-depth conversations with guest experts for each chapter.
