In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Rahsaan Mahadeo<\/a>, Assistant Professor in African American and African Studies at the University of Minnesota and\u00a0 author of Funk the Clock: Transgressing Time While Young, Perceptive, and Black<\/a>. In our conversation, Rahsaan introduces us to the ideas of Denise Ferreira da Silva<\/a> and helps us understand the radical possibilities of engaging with her work. Rahsaan also reflects on the lack of engagement with da Silva in sociology in the United States and how her ideas directly call into question many of the core assumptions the discipline rests on.<\/p>\n

Also of note, this episode has a co-host! Special thanks to Dr. Christine Goding-Doty<\/a>, Assistant Professor of Culture and Media at The New School and previous guest on Give Theory a Chance<\/a>, for being part of the conversation.<\/p>\n
