Finding the joy in activism with 이혜 지 Hye Ji (Erica) Lee

이혜지 Hye Ji (Erica) Lee joins me on this episode to talk activism and decoloniality - specifically what constitutes activism for her and how she finds the joy in activism, rather than focusing only on the things that cause pain and trauma. 

Erica is an academic who teaches and researches in Sociology, who was born in South Korea and migrated to New Zealand with her family when she was 11 years old. Like so many migrant kids, she experienced firsthand the ups and downs of growing up in a place where you are marked as an outsider at first glance. 

She has published and spoken about these issues in the media and through academic publications. You can read her work on her website and you can also follow her on Instagram.
