“What is Freedom Anyways?” SORA Podcast Episode with Ebony Bailey and Lamont Jack Pearley

Folklorists Ebony Bailey and Lamont Pearley joined the Society of Reluctant Anthropologists (SORA) Podcast to deep dive into the film ‘Sinners‘, exploring its themes of cultural appropriation, historical context, and the interplay of music and desire. They discuss the significance of the juke joint as a cultural space, the character dynamics, and the film’s portrayal of black agency and freedom.

SORA is a show about building community through our shared curiosity. Each episode features a guest who has been in or around academia and is doing interesting things in order to learn more about the nature of knowledge, resilience, the future of academia, hope, and heartbreak.
