New Podcast Features UWGB Students
UWGB EDI Consultant and Professor Tracy Fernandez Rysavy, along with EDI intern and Marinette campus student Nate Ireland, recently launched their new podcast, Let’s Not Do That: Microaggressions on College Campuses. The podcast was Professor Rysavy’s project for her year-long consultantship. Let’s Not Do That is a student-led podcast about microaggressions—subtle, indirect, or unintentional incidents of bias or discrimination—on college campuses. Each episode focuses on a different type of microaggression that students of color or LGBTQ+ students encounter. In addition, each features a different student guest co-host who talks about how that microaggression has impacted their life and what they would like professors and other faculty/staff to do to help mitigate the harm from them. The podcast is currently in a “soft launch” phase, with two episodes posted on the podcast website. Before the end of May, Professor Rysavy and Nate will be adding three more episodes (currently in editing), and they will be uploading all episodes to Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and other podcast platforms. The full launch will be this fall. For more information and to listen to the episodes, visit the Let’s Not Do That website.
