This is Joy in Academia, a podcast by Zakia Essanhaji, Onur Sahin, Zehra Colak, Daudi van Veen & Dounia Bourabain. Inspired by the Black Joy movement, our podcast highlights the ways in which racialized academics have overcome obstacles and found joy in academia. Join us as our guests tell us about the pockets of joy they have discovered along their academic journey. A special thanks to Nadia Bourabain for the post-production and Qurratul Ain Saeed for the artwork. Sponsored by Utrecht University, Migration and Societal Change Platform.
