Diversity Drill: Analysis of a Workplace Training Program
In this week's Dissidents Podcast Mike Burke and Elizabeth Spievak speak to Winkfield Twyman, Jr. & Jennifer Richmond about their new book Letters in Black and White. We discuss what it means to be both authentic and a dissident in an age of mass conformity.
In this week's Dissidents Podcast Mike Burke and Elizabeth Spievak have their second conversation with Winkfield Twyman, Jr. & Jennifer Richmond about their new book Letters in Black and White. In this episode they explore their debate over Wink’s suggestion of creating a common American identity premised on “Old Americans” and Jen’s criticism that this would be seen as “Sidestepping History”. Additionally, they discuss and debate the meaning of authenticity in a culture that prefers that we segregate into binary black and white identities laced with stereotypes and caricatures.
Winkfield Twyman Jr., former law school professor, writer, and Harvard Law School graduate, joins Elizabeth Spievak for a discussion about Claudine Gay. Wink questions the moral courage of Harvard's president and has called for her resignation. Gay's recent congressional testimony is discussed as an example of what is a larger problem on college campuses and beyond. We talk about what it means to have a moral compass, historical and contemporary examples of moral courage, and what can and should be expected of leaders. Throughout, the issues and challenges are framed in the context of liberal values.
