In this “Reflections” episode,Teri and Michael reflect back on episodes on culture and gender roles: Episode 78: Taté Walker on using storytelling and art to create social change around Indigenous rights, Episode 79: Bimla Vishwapremi, a feminist activist, on women’s rights in India, and Episode 81: #SurvivorStories Series with Aneri Shah–on gender roles and how her Indian-American identity impacted her #MeToo experience.
During my conversation with Michael, Michael referred to Taté as “she” instead of “they” as is Taté’s preferred pronoun. I didn’t notice this until the editing process and apologize to Taté for not correcting Michael.
We also touched upon the following resources in our conversation:
- The high rates of domestic abuse within the law enforcement profession
- India’s recently introduced “Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)” and its connection to the National Registry of Citizens (NRC), and what it means for Muslims
- The Dirty John Netflix show
- Our reference to how society, culture, and family create status or “shame” in survivors, as evidenced in Episode 20: #SurvivorStories Series with Rosaura Torres Thomas, on abuse when your partner is a cop
- Rachel Louise Snyder’s book, No Visible Bruises, makes the top 10 NYT list of best books of 2019
