Step into the world of Dr. Jallicia Jolly, an exceptional scholar who balances her roles as an assistant professor of American Studies and Black Studies at Amherst College, and a health organizer. Drawing on a rich heritage of advocacy from her mother and grandmother, she artfully blends her love for spoken word and travel into her academic pursuits. Dr. Jolly offers a fresh perspective on her experiences, exploring the nuances of her academic journey, her passion for advocacy, and how she continually draws inspiration from her roots.
Delve into the complexities of juggling teaching, academia, and health advocacy, as we discuss with Dr. Jolly her role at Benjamin, a Black woman-led Reproductive Justice coalition. Uncover her motivations for pursuing a career in academia, and take inspiration from her innovative approaches in creating vibrant classroom environments. In the face of evolving challenges within the fields of American Studies and Black Studies, we discuss the shifting landscape of American history education and the implications it carries.
Finally, we offer a soulful reflection on our doctoral journeys and the transformative power of intergenerational communities like Cohort Sistas. As we navigate through our discussion, Dr. Jolly compellingly illustrates the potential of leveraging our expertise to confront systemic racism, health equity, reproductive justice, and a host of other pressing issues. This introspective conversation promises to be a unique blend of academic exploration and personal narratives, shedding light on the joys and challenges of our academic pursuits.
