Conscientization 101

Conscientization 101

Conscientization 101 podcast is a show published on Wednesdays which features workers, writers, artists, and others who are involved in the process of learning to perceive social, political, and economic contradictions, and are taking action against oppressive elements of reality. Each episode provides information and radical analysis that attacks the roots of the oppressive structures we contend with on a daily basis. We place the issues of today within the context of the superstructure. This approach is paramount to developing a deeper understanding of society so limiting situations are brought into focus; which will create true resistance for the purpose of revolutionary transformation. While you are getting an in-depth analysis via Conscientization 101 podcast, we make sure to make our show an enjoyable and distinctly entertaining experience!!

Sagacious, trenchant, and decisive are just a few ways to describe the writings of American Indian Movement activist–intellectual Ward Churchill.
