S1. Ep7. Migration, Fashion, Power: The Once and Future Kings and Queens

Immigration and Democracy

Can fashion help us make a better world for our children? Today, we talk to Walé Oyéjidé. With clothes and prose, his work aims to reframe the lens through which migrants and asylum seekers are commonly seen in Western society, and to celebrate their lives and stories. Join us for a discussion that spans cultural appropriation versus appreciation, and creative resistance in the U.S. and global Black Lives Matter movement. In this series, we bring you fresh knowledge and insight from the team at the Immigration Initiative at Harvard, led by our Director, Professor Roberto G. Gonzales, and featuring voices from the field. Join us as we get to know our neighbors through their stories. This podcast is hosted by Dr Jennifer Allsopp and produced by Xiren Wang and Dr Jennifer Allsopp.
