About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Sofia Martinez, an expert in diversity and inclusion in education. She's here to discuss the Certified Specialist Programme in Intersectional Student Empowerment. Hi Sofia, thanks for joining us! GUEST: Thanks for having me, excited to be here! HOST: So Sofia, can you share a bit about your personal experiences that led you to this work? GUEST: Absolutely, I come from a multiracial background and have faced many challenges as a student. This inspired me to ensure that other marginalized students don't face the same barriers. HOST: That's powerful. Now, what current trends do you see in intersectional student empowerment? GUEST: There's a growing recognition that students have unique experiences shaped by various aspects of their identity. Educators are increasingly seeking ways to address these complexities. HOST: And what challenges do educators and professionals face in this field? GUEST: The main challenge is often a lack of understanding or training in intersectionality. It can be difficult to facilitate inclusive conversations and pedagogy without proper tools and knowledge. HOST: That's eye-opening. Looking to the future, where do you see this area heading? GUEST: I believe intersectional student empowerment will become a core aspect of educational training programs. It's essential for creating equitable learning environments and empowering students to reach their full potential. HOST: Well said! Thanks for sharing your insights, Sofia.
