it was an honor to host dr. marie gasper-hulvat on the podcast this week – a tenured professor of art history who is refreshingly open about what makes academia hard, even beyond grad school, and the ways that connecting to ourselves can make it just that much easier. we talk about belonging, following our interests (even when they aren't ”traditional”), and navigating the political waters of higher ed – all without losing yourself in the process.
