The University Administration's Response to Najib's Disappearance

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Please take this survey on podcasting in higher education: www.freshedpodcast.com/survey -- In this Flux episode, Yardain Amron crafts a narrative that shows complex theories in action. He doesn’t simply tell his listeners what these ideas are or name them explicitly. He takes us to disparate places–from universities in India and Puerto Rico to Occupy Wall Street–and makes a connection between them by embedding stories within stories. Through this nested narrative, he shows us how the streets are schools by exploring spaces of activism as educative sites, while leading us to the core idea at the heart of this episode: the relationship between debt and violence. Yardain Amron is a freelance journalist and master’s student in Geography at the University of British Columbia. https://freshedpodcast.com/flux-amron/ Credits: Today’s episode was created, written, produced, and edited by Yardain Amron.
