Kathy Temple Yancey visits Memphis Metropolis to talk about Douglass, one of the city's most historic African American neighborhoods. Douglass is home to many important community institutions, including Douglass Park (longtime home of the annual Juneteenth festival) and Douglass HIgh, which was closed and demolished in the wake of school desegregation but has since been rebuilt as a state-of-the-art facility. Kathy also explains the work of Time is Now Douglass CDC, which is working to revitalize the neighborhood through community organizing and addressing issues such as blight and food insecurity. Later in the program, regular commentator Cole Bradley, editor of High Ground News, talks with Emily about the many qualities that have made Douglass unique among Memphis neighborhoods.

Neighborhood Spotlight: Douglass. With Kathy Yancey Temple and Cole Bradley

Joan talks with Ms.Yancey about her career in Academia. Kathy talks about the impact of professors she had in her college years and how they influenced her decision to pursue a career in academia. They discuss the differences in academic careers one can pursue, often a function of working at a 'teaching-centric' vs a 'research-centric' institution. Kathy shares her insights into the personal discipline required to fulfill the writing/publishing expectations of the role; and the different relationships a professor often develops with Graduate vs Undergraduate students. This is a candid and insightful conversation about a profession, and in many respects a lifestyle, that few outside of academia understand.
