Welcome to the Counterweight podcast, where we talk about how we can strive for a world in which freedom and reason are at the forefront of all human society. In this week’s podcast, we have Eric Smith as a guest co-host. We speak with Ildi Tillmann, a writer, photographer, immigrant from Hungary, and a professor of Africana Studies at SUNY, Stony Brook. She shares with us both her challenges and triumphs in her journey through the unexpected politics of her chosen field.
