Episode 1 : Privilege & Pathways

Exploring the intersection of privilege and educational access

Prologue: Bridging Backgrounds By Jordan Dalton and Mona Shi

Welcome to "Roots and Routes," where we unravel the woven complexities of privilege and education.

Our goal is to challenge listeners, especially students, to recognize their educational privileges and consider their role in creating more sustainable development.
