The Discourse with Dr. Shea

The Discourse with Dr. Shea is a podcast where storytelling meets scholarship, bridging knowledge, culture, and lived experience. Hosted by higher education scholar and practitioner Dr. Shea, this space offers honest, unapologetic conversations about race, power, identity, and institutions.

Through personal narrative, research, and critical reflection, the podcast examines the realities of working and existing within higher education systems that were not originally designed to serve Black communities. Episodes explore historical and present-day inequities, institutional power structures, professional identity, and the lived experiences of Black professionals navigating academia and organizational spaces.

This podcast is for scholars, professionals, students, and community members seeking deeper understanding, validation, and tools for navigating and challenging inequitable systems.
