S3, Ep 2: Charleston, Rurality, and Feminist Activism with Dr. Cherisse Jones-Branch

  • Résumé

  • In this episode of WHAT IFF? we discuss rurality and feminism with Dr. Cherisse Jones-Branch and guest host Aaliya Wiggs, a College of Charleston 1967 Scholar. Dr. Jones-Branch is the Dean of the graduate school at Arkansas University, a College of Charleston alum, a professor of history, a scholar of rural, agricultural, African American, and women’s history– and she was born and raised here in Charleston. In our discussion, we talk about Dr. Jones-Branch’s experience growing up in Adams Run, SC, concern regarding urbanization, black feminist activism, and the importance of rural communities. We highlight intersections between classism, racism, and sexism as we discuss how rurality has been greatly overlooked for its community connection and cultural significance.
