We are two professors at Carleton College, a small liberal arts college in Northfield, MN. Adriana Estill teaches American Studies and Latinx Studies and Anita Chikkatur teaches Educational Studies. We study a lot. As a pair, we have lots of vigorous discussions about social identity, power, privilege, representation, pop culture, and college politics. This blog traces and records some of our musings. We are grateful for the many women of color who came before us and work alongside us; our immediate inspirations for this blog are bell hooks and Amalia Mesa Bains' jointly-written book "Homegrown" and the Buzzfeed podcast "Another Round" with Heben and Tracy.
