WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN? The audience will learn how to recognize harmful actions and organizational policies, so they can call it out and encourage accountability when they see it.
EPISODE SUMMARY: Racism and prejudice often rear their ugly heads with witnesses. Racism is as deadly as it is because it often shows up in the most public of spaces: workplaces, schools, on television, in movies, and on our streets in full view of anyone passing by. How different would the world be if bystanders ceased to stand by in the midst of racist acts?
We are all potential bystanders when we do not know how to recognize racism and biased responses to it. Rev. Dr. TLC welcomes Dr. Lynn Bowes-Sperry to discuss her research in "bystander intervention", and the "paradox of power" created when systems and organizations protect their optics under the guise of being anti-discriminatory instead of protecting vulnerable people.
