In episode 20, we talk with Dr. Lesley Jo Weaver about her new position as Assistant Professor of International Studies at the University of Oregon, her new book “Sugar and Tension”, fieldwork, and her podcast “Speaking of Race”, which she co-hosts along with Jim Bindon and Erik Peterson. Weaver shares stories of wire cutting and wisdom that range from the process of moving cross-country to identifying and working with sustainably developed NGOs. Her latest research project in India will be focusing on social stratification, mental health, and stigma.
