Humanities Now
Humanities Now is the official podcast of the Humanities Center at Texas Tech. We feature conversations with members of the humanities community at Texas Tech University. With every episode, these varied voices help us realize the Center’s mission: asking out loud, “What does it mean to be human?” and demonstrating how can we answer that question from so many different perspectives.

A Conversation with Dr. Bryan K. Hotchkins: "My Black is Exhausted"
On this first episode back from winter break, we sit down with Dr. Bryan K. Hotchkins, a faculty member in TTU's College of Education, to hear about his new book My Black is Exhausted: Forever in Pursuit of a Racist-free World Where Hashtags Don't Exist. Extending our year-long conversation about anti-racism in scholarship and the arts, Hotchkins shows us how writing autobiographically and reflecting on popular culture offer possibilities for challenging white supremacy, acknowledging the persistence of anti-black racism, and offering relief for African Americans afflicted by those forces.
