Yeah, I Got a F#%*ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree is a show that takes a deep look at the humanities and higher education more generally. Join professor of history and humanities Dean Jeff Crane as he interviews a range of guests about the value of the liberal arts and education as a personal and public good.
Our guest today is Professor Enkeshi El-Amin, a community sociologist, a cultural worker and a social entrepreneur. She studies the link between race and place and Black community life in Appalachia and beyond and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology at Agnes Scott College, where she teaches courses on race, place, urban sociology, community sociology and social theory. Enkeshi completed her master’s degree in Pan African studies at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York and her bachelor's degree in Psychology and Africana Studies at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia. She hosts the Black in Appalachia podcast and in response to finding feelings of displacement and loss of space for Black communities in her research, Dr. El-Amin founded “The Bottom” in East Knoxville as a hub to build community, celebrate culture, and engage in the creativity of Black people.
Enkeshi shares about her career journey and a return to her alma mater as a Professor. It was great to have another podcaster on the show to discuss an in depth look at a particular region and the modality of podcasting as an accessible form of research.
