January 2024 Updates and Catch-Up

Catch up with us once again as we discuss what has changed since our last check-in at ATALM 2022. In this episode, we talk about where our lives are at, including Felicia’s new job as the Education, Programs, and Volunteer Manager for her community’s museum and Meranda’s new exhibition “Continuity: Cahuilla Basket Weavers and their Legacies” opening at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College in February 2024. 

Meranda talks about what it’s like being a professor, if we can still use “decolonization” when discussing museums, and our hopes for the next year, including podcast dream guests, re-interviewing former guests, and media help!
