Resisting Erasure: Critical Race Counterstories of Higher Education bring us stories that expose, analyze, and challenge majoritarian stories rooted in whiteness, racial myths, and power. Each episode discusses a different historical period through a counterstory lens in an effort to resist the erasure of Communities of Color, women, queer and trans folks, people with disabilities, and other oppressed groups. The podcast is hosted by doctoral students in the Ed.D. in Community College Leadership at San Diego State University as part of the ARP 801 course.

    • Episode 6: Where’s the Fairness? A Counterstory on Affirmative Action
      Jan 28 2026

      This episode features podcasters Nellie Herrera-Martinez, Diana Vera-Alba, and Ildi Carrillo as they unpack the long, complicated history of affirmative action through story, data, and lived experience. Beginning with the Civil Rights Act, Executive Order 11246, and the early foundations of educational equity, we explore how affirmative action sought to repair generations of exclusion rather than provide “handouts.” The episode then examines key turning points such as California’s Proposition 209 and the 2023 Supreme Court decision that ended race-conscious admissions nationwide. Through accessible explanations and counterstories, we highlight how so-called “color-blind” policies have deepened inequities and shifted the burden onto community colleges and under-resourced institutions. Ultimately, we call for admissions systems that honor resilience, belonging, and lived experience alongside traditional metrics of merit.

      Hosts: Nellie Herrera-Martinez, Diana Vera-Alba, and Ildi Carrillo

    • Episode 5: San Diego’s Untold Acts of Student Protest in the 1960’s
      Jan 28 2026

      In this episode, we discuss how student-led resistance in the 1960s, particularly within the often overlooked context of community colleges, challenged and redefined the landscape of higher education in California. We provide context by examining the policies that claimed to democratize education but actually reinforced exclusion. By examining the activism of students at San Diego City College in the 1960’s and 70’s as a case study, we highlight the crucial role student activism played in demanding inclusive curriculum that led to the development of Black and Chicano studies at San Diego City College and culturally affirming spaces like Chicano Park. The educational transformation we celebrate and fight to protect today wasn't given - it was taken, through organized student power. Finally, we discuss how this power, found in the movements of student activists in the 60’s and 70’s have a far reaching impact well into today.

    • Episode 4: Courage and Tenacity: Mexican and Mexican American Communities Refusing Erasure
      Jan 28 2026

      In this episode, we will discuss key contradictions in California community college’s history, during the periods of 1920 through 1955. Starting with a focus on the countercyclical relationship between The Great Depression in the 1930’s and the boost on enrollment this period generated for junior colleges across the United States, we will argue that the main stock story of this period is told through a white racial frame, erasing challenging experiences faced by Mexican and Mexican American communities. We will offer a counterstory that highlights the scapegoating and mass “repatriation” (deportation) of Mexican and Mexican-American workers and communities during this period, while also honoring the courage and tenacity of Mexican and Mexican American communities exemplified in two key court cases that we argue must be understood as precursors to the landmark Supreme Court decision in Brown v Board of Education.

      Hosts: Lawson Hardrick Cervantes and Julio Soto
