369: Politics of Citation and Why Crediting Others Matters with Drs. Miroslava Chávez-García and Alexandra Minna Stern

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I explore the politics of citation and why crediting others matters in academia and beyond, alongside Dr. Miroslava Chávez-García and Dr. Alexandra Minna Stern. We unpack how citation functions as a form of power, how it connects to mentorship and collaboration, and how today’s academic and political landscape requires a more intentional and relational approach to giving credit. We also discuss how to navigate citation in informal spaces like social media, what accountability and repair can look like when we miss something, and how thoughtful acknowledgment practices can support long-term sustainability, visibility, and impact in your work.
