Listen "The Indypendent News Hour on WBAI // 4 Feb. '25"
Episode Synopsis
In our first segment, we go to Queens College, where yesterday more than 100 faculty and students protested for the right to protest on their campus in the face of an increasingly authoritarian campus administration.
And then we check in with The Indy’s Amba Guerguerian. She published a major new piece today looking at how dissent has been systematically crushed at Columbia since last spring’s Gaza solidarity encampment ignited a nationwide anti-genocide campus protest movement. Amba has also been following protests that have been popping off around the city just over the past 24 hours.
In our final segment, we speak with Linda Martin Alcoff, a professor of philosophy at CUNY’s Hunter College who has written multiple books that explore the intersection of race, gender and class. We get her thoughts on the early days of the Trump administration and its relentless focus on purging anything it deems to be “DEI” or “woke.”
