Episode 95: Allyship in Action - More Than Just Being Nice

Allyship is more than just a buzzword—it’s about action, accountability, and showing up in meaningful ways. In this episode, Sam Benson, Assistant Director for Graduate Affairs for MS and PhD Students in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Perdita Das, Assistant Dean of Hans Bethe House, discuss what allyship really means, how to navigate mistakes, and the ways we can all create more inclusive spaces. Through candid conversations and real-life examples, they explore the power of collaboration, the importance of self-reflection, and why true allyship requires continuous learning and unlearning.
