Debbie Hernandez, a PhD student from Wilfrid Laurier University,  explores the importance of cultural teachings in Filipino communities, focusing on how these teachings are remembered, experienced, used, and passed on, despite being marginalized within dominant cultures. Guided by feminist theory and postcolonial studies, particularly M. Jacqui Alexander's concept of “pedagogies of the Sacred,” herwork respects these belief systems as real and valuable, rather than dismissing them as mere cultural artifacts.

Alexis Pauline Gumbs joins Windham-Campbell Prizes director Michael Kelleher to talk about the beauty of Audre Lorde's poetry and why more people should know her as a poet as well as an essayist.

Born in Summit, New Jersey in 1982, Alexis Pauline Gumbs is an activist, critic, poet, scholar, and educator. A self-described “Queer Black Troublemaker and Black Feminist Love Evangelist,” Gumbs uses hybrid forms to re-envision old narratives and engage with the history of Black intellectual-imaginative work. Her four books of prose-poetry include Dub: Finding Ceremony (2020), Undrowned (2020), M Archive (2018), and Spill: Scenes of Black Feminist Fugitivity (2016). Dub, M Archive, and Spill form a kind of triptych, each engaging with the work of a Black woman theorist: Sylvia Wynter in Dub; M. Jacqui Alexander in M Archive; and Hortense Spillers in Spill. In all her work, Gumbs raises the stakes of literature within and beyond the page. She is a people's poet, awake to the form's capacity to imagine alternative worlds, across and through time. Her worldview is capacious and paradigm-shifting, speaking to urgent realities with exuberant love, and inviting activists, artists, and readers alike to join in her participatory presentations. A graduate of Barnard College and Duke University, Gumbs is also the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (2022), a Whiting Award (2022), and a National Humanities Center Fellowship (2020). She lives in Durham, North Carolina, and is currently at work on a biography of Audre Lorde. The Windham-Campbell Prizes Podcast is a program of The Windham-Campbell Prizes, which are administered by Yale University Library's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.

Alexis Pauline Gumbs (NHC Fellow, 2020–21), Independent Scholar, Writer, and Activist The second book in an experimental triptych, “M Archive ”is a series of poetic artifacts that speculatively documents the persistence of Black life following the worldwide cataclysm we are living through now. Engaging with the work of the foundational Black feminist theorist M. Jacqui Alexander, and following the trajectory of Alexis Pauline Gumbs's acclaimed visionary fiction short story “Evidence,” “M Archive” is told from the perspective of a future researcher who uncovers evidence of the conditions of late capitalism, anti-Blackness, and environmental crisis while examining possibilities of being that exceed the human. By exploring how Black feminist theory is already after the end of the world, Gumbs reinscribes the possibilities and potentials of scholarship while demonstrating the impossibility of demarcating the lines between art, science, spirit, scholarship, and politics.

“We are not born women of color. We become women of color. In order to become women of color, we would need to become fluent in each others' histories, to resist and unlearn an impulse to claim first oppression, most-devastating oppression, one-of-a-kind oppression, defying comparison oppression. We would have to unlearn an impulse that allows mythologies about each other to replace knowing about one another. We would need to cultivate a way of knowing in which we direct our social, cultural, psychic, and spiritually marked attention on each other. We cannot afford to cease yearning for each others' company.” ― M. Jacqui Alexander, Pedagogies of Crossing: Meditations on Feminism, Sexual Politics, Memory, and the Sacred Women are a dominating force, that is tested with resistance at every turn. This power panel features leading women from around the world discussing the stereotypes, challenges, and opportunities faced by women of color. Women of color comprise 20.3% of the United States population. Despite the population changes in the US, US workplaces struggle to retain women of color professionals. Women of Color have a greater wage gap, are disproportionally represented in low-wage and essential jobs, yet 5.4 million firms are majority-owned by women of color in the US., employing 2.1 million people generating $361 billion in revenues annually. To discuss the disparities and answer the following questions: Why does diversity matter? What is the responsibility of leadership as a woman of color? Why is the world intimidated by strong women of color? What legacy do you want to leave?

Our final episode of the Friday Night Drinks with NAM series! Tune in now for a wonderful discussion with Jacqui Alexander on her design research with MADA and recent projects with Alexander & Sheridan Architecture. Alexander & Sheridan Architecture is an architecture and research collaboration between Jacqui Alexander and Ben Sheridan, with a strong interest in architecture's relationship with contemporary culture, technology and materials, and its capacity to affect positive social outcomes.

How might digital technologies shape our cities if the usual tech giants weren't at the helm?

Today's topic is housing! With only three days to go before the Victorian state election, Kevin's news digest is as topical as ever. In the second third of the show we speak to Jacqui Alexander, Senior Lecturer at the Monash University's department of Art, Design & Architecture about Melbourne's Airbnb economy, and how it is affecting housing design and affordability. In the final third of the show we get a important update of housing election policies from Fiona York, Executive Officer for the Housing for the Aged Action Group.

Amy Cahoon and Jacqui Alexander are the unschool sisters. Yes, they both unschool their kids. How cool to be able to share this journey with a close sibling! Not only do they both unschool their kids but they both share a blog together about their unschooling lives. Amy and Jacqui are the eldest two siblings in a family of 6. Growing up they attended public school but had vastly different experiences. One thrived as an academic student and the praise that came with it. The other struggled with classes and felt inadequacies because of that. But even though their school experiences differed, Amy and Jacqui feel that their mom was an unschooler at heart. Conversation was rich in their home and freedom to learn, play, and do was encouraged. This “unschooling” outside school was an early introduction to the concept. Now, even though they live on opposite sides of the country, they have chosen to follow a similar educational path with their families as unschoolers. They were already close, but now their bond through this shared experience brings them closer. In this episode The Unschool Sisters shared why they both decided to unschool, how they approach learning with their kids, and how this is influenced by their own personal experiences with school. They also share what life is like when viewed through an unschool lens. They don’t claim to have it all figured out and feel the anxieties and pressures that were familiar to my own. But they do understand that the basis for learning and family, no matter how you choose to school, is a loving relationship with their children. Make a cup of tea, and find a cozy spot to listen in on their life reflections of school, family and their shared love for the teachings of John Holt.
