Phoenix Cast
Ever watched, listened to, or read something and thought "Wow. There's a lot to unpack here"? We say that all the time and want to share with you our conversations unpacking the different parts of our culture and world which contribute to rape culture and continuous violence against others or the things which help us create a world where those things are less likely to thrive. Join the Phoenix Center at Auraria as we deconstruct pop culture and the world through an anti-racist, feminist, and anti-oppressionist lens. The Phoenix Center at Auraria is the interpersonal violence resource center serving the Auraria community.
