'Round About Campus
About Extended Rest with Susana Muñoz and Amanda Tachine
Welcome to 'Round About Campus, the podcast for the About Campus magazine, the scholarly magazine of ACPA-College Student Educators International.
In our third season of 'Round About Campus, we take a go at having a book club. The book we have chosen to focus on for the season is Ashley Neese's Permission to Rest: Revolutionary Practices for Healing, Empowerment, and Collective Care. In this episode, co-hostesses Alex C. Lange and Z Nicolazzo talk with Drs. Susana Muñoz and Amanda Tachine about how rest is central to how they think about their lives and work.
Dr. Amanda R. Tachine is Navajo from Ganado, Arizona. She is Náneesht’ézhí Táchii’nii (Zuni Red Running into Water) born for Tł’ízí łání (Many Goats). She is an Assistant Professor in Educational Studies at University of Oregon. Amanda’s research explores the relationship between systemic and structural histories of settler colonialism and the ongoing erasure of Indigenous presence and belonging in college settings using qualitative Indigenous methodologies.
Dr. Susana M. Muñoz is Associate Professor in the Higher Education Leadership (HEL) Program, in the School of Education at Colorado State University (CSU). Her scholarly interests center on the experiences of minoritized populations in higher education. Specifically, she focuses her research on issues of equity, identity, and campus climate for undocumented Latinx students while employing perspectives such as legal violence, racist nativism, Chicana feminist epistemology to identify and dismantle power, oppression, and inequities experienced by these populations.
In this episode, a number of publications are discussed, including:
- Brianna Wiest's The Mountain is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage into Self-Mastery;
- Tricia Hersey's Nap Ministry (you can also find out more about her book Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto);
- Amanda's incredible book Native Presence and Sovereignty in College: Sustaining Indigenous Weapons to Defeat Systemic Monsters;
As always, if you have feedback or thoughts, do not hesitate to reach us via email at AboutCampusMag@gmail.com.
