Building Coalitions and Cultivating Hope on The Way to College Podcast - Ep 201

In Part II of my conversation with Dr. Cristóbal Rodríguez , Associate Vice Provost for Equity-Centered Initiatives at Arizona State University, we explore the politics shaping education today—and the urgent need to build coalitions across communities. Dr. Rodríguez discusses the threats facing public education, the role of systemic inequality, and how division undermines opportunity for all students. But amid the challenges, he reminds us that hope endures—in the stories of students, families, and educators who continue to plant seeds for a better future. Join us as we reflect on what it means to educate, to lead, and to believe in the collective power of communities working together for change. 🎙️ Listen now and share this episode with someone who believes education should remain a public good for all.
