Dr. Layla Brown

Welcome to another episode of That Anthro Podcast, where we dive into all things anthropology. This episode was just as much of a treat to record as it is to listen to, Dr. Layla Brown is a captivating scholar, storyteller, and professor. Dr. Brown is an Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at U Mass Boston, but holds a Phd in Cultural Anthropology, and commonly works and teaches on the subject of Black Feminism and Power. She certainly wowed and inspired me with her views on the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela and the parallels with the US Black Lives Matter movements; as well as her teaching philosophy! We dove into her unique childhood growing up in a very politically active community of diverse, international voices, which would later help guide her studies.
