Politics OR Politiking

Politics or Politiking is a podcast that no definition can accurately describe! PorP is limitless in the topics it will address, it will include conversations around religion, spirituality, politics, life, and academia. We are just a couple of Ph.D. students interested in politics and the like, and wanted to deliver it in a way that everyone understands. We want this to be geared toward making things simple and interesting to everyone, and to encourage those to become more involved and aware of what's going on in the world. We are also adamant about pulling apart politics and explaining how it is deeply rooted throughout our lives and beyond. We hope to be critical, analytical, present facts, and discuss possible solutions that extend beyond the formulation stage and progress towards the implementation stage!! This is a podcast to invoke collective solutions for collective problems.

The Relevance of Political Science Through a Pan-African Lens 11/06/2020

The Relevance of Political Science Through a Pan-African Lens PAN-AFRICANISM, the liberation of ALL black people. Dr. Kurt B. Young, joins us as we unpack political science, and more so, political science through a Pan-African lens. We begin our discussion by providing some context to political science and the dearth of political scientist in political spaces. While providing context, Dr. Young notes that political science does not necessarily study politics. He states that political science is "a scientific study of Political Phenomenon". Additionally, he explains the reservations that media outlets have to include political scientist in the political discourse, because a well trained political scientist asks the critical questions. We then transition to unpacking the relevancy of Pan-Africanism historically and contemporary. We are all grappling with the current social and political issues here in the U.S., but these issues are not unique to us in the diaspora... our brothers and sisters on the continent are also facing similar issues. We are challenged with pushing ourselves to keep fighting for the "true" liberation of all people of African decent. /episode/index/show/politicsorpoliticking/id/16711106
