Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to another episode of The Things You Can't Touch ... We are so grateful, excited, and pleased to bring to you our very first collaboration !! In this special episode celebrating World Philosophy Day, The Things You Can't Touch collaborates with The Black Curriculum to unpack how education shapes our understanding of knowledge, identity, and justice. We challenge traditional ideas of philosophy, explore the transformative power of a Black-centered curriculum, and reimagine who gets to define wisdom. Join us for an eye-opening discussion that celebrates diverse perspectives and calls for a more inclusive future for education and philosophy.
