The COVID-19 pandemic, racism, police violence, economic hardships, white supremacy, and social injustice were some of the unfortunate cornerstones of 2020. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss Marc Lamont Hill’s book We Still Here and use it as a resource for how we might work towards an abolitionist future.

What’s in a name?
Interdependent Study is a little unwieldy. It’s too long for a Twitter handle. It’s a lot of syllables. We even have trouble saying it while we work on the podcast. But once we said it out loud we knew that it had to be the name of the podcast.
Stay Tuned!
We are so excited to let you all in on this show we’ve been working on for a few months now! Interdependent Study is going to launch with a preview episode at the end of this month and fully premiere with episode 1 on January 6th, 2020 (let’s all collectively hope that 2021 is nicer to all of us!).
Interdependent Study Coming Soon
Interdependent Study is a new podcast project from two lifelong educators who will explore their individual and collective growth in social justice and collective liberation. Coming soon.
