In 2022, Calling Up Justice collaborators and artists produced and collaborated on a number of podcasts and publications. Our ideas and artists were covered by commercial media as well. NPR and FOX 2 both reported on our critique of the term of “quiet quitting,” and promoted resistance to wage theft. The Major Pain Podcast featured a discussion on the embodied experience of disability, Cripping Media Art Ecologies invited commentary on the co-development of the CripTech Incubator. The Interspectional Podcast and Trek Table celebrated women and femmes of color in sci-fi with a decolonized and fabulous lens. The Acting Captain Podcast focused on Star Trek and disability. These podcasts and publications all contributed to conversations surrounding accessibility, technical innovation, racial justice, creative excellence, diversity, decolonization and more in 2022.

Interspectional Women of Color in Sci-Fi TV (2015 – present) Feb 18, 2022
Since 2015 (and a little bit earlier), there has been a massive increase in the amount of women of color that we see in sci-fi/fantasy media across network, cable and streaming platforms. With this increase in representation (and we can always use more), the conversation has shifted a bit more from just putting women of color in speculative properties to exploring how we are being represented and what are the overall messages being send the audience. In this episode, I explore those ideas with transmedia social justice producer and co-host of Trek Table, Claudia Alick and Community Advocate and co-host of Pop Chatter podcast, Natacia Knapper. We look at #StarTrekDiscovery, #Watchmen, #LovecraftCountry, #Flash and so much more. It’s a fun, intense, definitely going-to-challenge you conversation.
