In this episode we talk with André Brock (aka @DocDre). André is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Michigan and is currently completing a book on social media, Black identity, and the digital divide.
This week we talk about a whole lot of fascinating stuff from life as game scholars to the importance of ratchet culture in social media. We also learned about where André and Kishonna are going to be in the coming academic year. We run a bit long this week, but it is worth every damned minute of it!
