Exploring African American History & Urban Renewal w/Cam Lewin
Welcome back to the Intentional Intern Podcast!
This week I’m joined by Camren Lewin, a recently graduated PhD candidate who studied Black history at the University of Tennessee. With a blend of humor, honesty, and sharp insight, Cam brings a refreshing perspective to the stories that often get left out of the history books.
In today’s episode, Cam and I talk openly about:
The competitive drive that first pushed her toward a PhD,
The "vibes-based" approach that guided her research interests,
The frustrating gaps she noticed in how Black history is taught in schools,
The role of local politics in shaping educational content,
so much more!
We also dive into her deep passion for uncovering overlooked narratives within African-American history specifically in Knoxville, Tennessee, and why she believes representation in history matters now more than ever.
