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.
