The Higher Education Anti-Racist Teaching (H.E.A.R.T.) Podcast focuses on elevating our learning about antiracist teaching at colleges and universities. In this podcast, we explore what antiracist teaching in higher education is, what it entails, what challenges educators face, and any advice our guests can give our audience in their antiracist teaching journey. The podcast is co-hosted by Dr. Milagros Castillo-Montoya, and doctoral students Omar Romandia and Truth Hunter. With a strong commitment to centering the learning of BIPOC students, they ask questions of their guests to deepen conceptions about antiracist teaching as well as advance teaching practices that align with antiracist tenets. The podcast is supported by the Office for Diversity and Inclusion and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at the University of Connecticut.

Dr. Laura Bunyan, Associate Professor of Residence at UConn and Gracie Guzman, Success Program Manager for Higher Edge, explore the topic of economic challenges that students may experience while in college. They discuss how educators can rethink classroom practices in order to support students who experience food insecurity, work full-time, and take care of their families. The conversation in this episode challenges us to rethink assumptions about financial and life circumstances that hinder students from showing up as their best selves. Instead, we must ask ourselves, “What are the conditions and circumstances that might prevent our students from showing up fully?” Additionally, Gracie and Laura highlight two inspiring initiatives, Husky Harvest and The Success Closet, that alleviate economic challenges and give students the resources they need to thrive.
