Episode Description
Creating a racially just society requires more than changing individual attitudes and reforming laws and institutions (both of which are necessary). Creating a racially just society will also require changing the implicit beliefs, mental models, and cultural narratives that shape our attitudes as well as our institutions. Our guests Angela Sevin and Gregory Mengel will discuss how Beyond the Culture of Separation uses an innovative approach and interactive learning modalities to lead a transformation in the way white people engage in the work for racial equity and racial justice.
