Word on the Street

In the Season 7 launch, Shelly and Suzan engage in an authentic conversation about the impact of colonization on our subconscious minds. They explore hypothetical scenarios and share personal philosophical reflections on social constructs, challenging the binary systems that shape our understanding of the world. Through open and thoughtful dialogue, they aim to create a safe space for reflecting on societal norms and upbringing. Ultimately, they hope to inspire listeners to critically examine the subconscious patterns and binaries we've internalized.

Check out the third episode of Word on the Street: An OML/RRC Podcast! In this episode, “Check Your Privilege”, SIE Shelly examines the topics of social privilege using Gaby Hinsliff's ‘Check your privilege' used to annoy me. Now I get it. Our hosts will dive into personal experiences navigating social dynamics through the lens of power and privilege. What does privilege mean to you? How does it manifest in daily life? What does it look like among SCU students? Listen and share your thoughts! SPECIAL GUEST Alex Gonzalez Instagram: scu_mcc RESOURCES Check your privilege' used to annoy me.

In this podcast of "Word on the Street: an OML & RRC Podcast," hosts Shelly (She/Her) and Alex (He/Him) delve into the topic of why there's a shortage of research on women in medicine. They explore the broader issue of gender inequalities that women encounter in everyday life. Disclaimer! Just a quick note before we dive in: throughout this podcast, I'll be using "women" and “female” interchangeably, and similarly, "men," "males," and "guys" will be used interchangeably. My discussion focuses on the gender binary.

In this episode of Word on the Street: An OML & RRC Podcast, SIEs Annissa (She/Her) and Grace (She/Her) work in collaboration with Dr. Miranda's ANTH/PHSC 135 class to discuss reproductive justice, and specifically the Supreme Court's draft leak containing votes to overturn Roe v. Wade. Though the episode was originally already planned to cover reproductive justice, in light of recent news the content of the episode is heavily targeted toward what the overturning of this case means for people with uteri and others from various backgrounds. We should preface that the statistics and evidence discussed in this episode use a lot of gendered language, however reproductive justice as a whole represents everyone.

In this episode of Word on the Street, Student Inclusion Educators Annissa and Omar of the RRC are joined by Jocelyn, Evelyn, and Antonio, members of the Multicultural Center and/or Latinx Student Union to discuss Disney's Encanto from their perspectives as Latine individuals. This episode contains many spoilers for the movie, as well as deep discussions of mental health stigma and lack of resources, generational trauma, and representation. Throughout the conversation, and in the title of the episode, “Latine” is used rather than “Latinx”. The use of this gender-neutral identifier rather than the latter makes a more organic sense to native Spanish speakers, while still retaining its inclusive intent. There is debate over the use of “Latine” versus “Latinx”, but for the purpose and company in this episode, “Latine” served as the better option. If you have any more questions about “Latinx”, “Latine”, or any other gender inclusive language across cultures, be sure to email OML@scu.edu, RRC@scu.edu, or write in to the podcast via the form below. Also be on the lookout for a future podcast about gender identity coming in February!

This week, Parisa and Kaylyn talk a little about culinary racism and appropriation – specifically, the dynamics of chefs who take and claim ownership over food from other groups/communities with less cultural capital than them. We explore the links between food and identity, (white) chefs really messing up, and ponder the question: is fusion food racist?

This week, Parisa and Kaylyn talk about the Armenian Genocide. Join us as we go through the history of the genocide, and reflect on our own about it. Trigger warning: we do read from some first-hand accounts of the genocide, so please be advised if you are sensitive to accounts of torture, trauma, etc.

This time, Parisa and Kaylyn break down the drama that seemed to have the entire beauty YouTube community weighing in, and had all of us spectators shook. Parisa and Kaylyn talk about some of the allegations that were made against James Charles, question Tati Westbrook's timing and motivations, and discuss why problematic beauty YouTubers seem to have so much longevity. NOTE: This was recorded BEFORE James Charles uploaded his 40-minute reaction video. Suffice to say, Parisa and Kaylyn are now confused about what to make of everything.

This week, in the middle of both weekends of Coachella, Parisa and Kaylyn talk about Coachella! Though Coachella is a widely popular music festival that takes place every April, the company and its founder have had a very interesting (read: problematic) past, and the festival itself has proven to be a hotbed of cultural appropriation in the past (between certain performers and festival goers).

In honor of Immigration Week this past week at SCU, Parisa and Kaylyn talk about the Cambodian refugee and deportation crisis. In the 1970s and 1980s, massive amounts of Cambodian refugees came to the United States. However, now, the United States has been systematically deporting many of these same Cambodian refugees. Since 2002, over 700 Cambodian refugees have been deported, and the number is only going to be increasing. We'll be talking about the conditions that drove their original refugee migration, as well as why many of them are now vulnerable to deportation (despite being legal permanent residents in the US).

Join us this week as Parisa and Kaylyn discuss the history of Norooz, or Iranian/Persian New Year! This year, it will fall on March 20. A quick correction to our podcast: OML's Norooz event will be in NOBILI DINING HALL, not Benson 21. Our feedback form: https://goo.gl/forms/4x8yjpKmYHMpHYUN2

In 1619, the first recorded slave ship came to the shores of America. Now, 400 years later, we're still contending with the legacy of slavery and forms of neoslavery that have come about after the end of the Civil War. Join us as we talk with Dr. Joanna Thompson, OML Director, about the legacy of slavery. Here's the link to our suggestion form: https://goo.gl/forms/2cleldfLawwLIJEs2
