Each of us navigate the world in unique ways, according to our diversity of identities, desires, and experiences. In this episode, we explore the importance of an inclusive college campus and the significance of adopting a racial identity. How can we encourage interracial and ethnic group contact? What are the roots of inequality, and how do we encourage empathetic conversation?
Our guests are Jane McLeod, a Provost Professor in the Department of Sociology and the chair of the 2017 Themester Advisory Committee, and Dina Okamoto, a professor in the Department of Sociology and a director at the Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society.
