Activist Lab Podcast–Less Seen / Less Heard: Stories from the Margins
In the latest episode of Less Seen/Less Heard: Stories from the Margins, Craig Andrade, associate dean and associate professor for practice, and director of the Activist Lab, speaks with André de Quadros, professor of music at BU’s College of Arts and Sciences.
Less Seen, Less Heard: Stories from the Margins is a podcast produced by the Activist Lab at Boston University School of Public Health. These conversations offer a megaphone to communities that have been marginalized, othered, disempowered, and in many ways silenced or removed from our public health practice, policymaking, and acceptance in mainstream society. We will cover a broad spectrum of topics that may be familiar and sometimes uncomfortable. Thank you for leaning in with us.
