Together, we research and break down complex, and even controversial, topics facing our society. Our goal isn’t to convince you to see things our way. We want to build a foundational understanding of these complicated topics so that we can address them together. We talk about some pretty heavy stuff on this show, and we tackle topics that might feel polarizing. But we do that because we have an important goal in mind: We want to change the way people have hard conversations. And, we think we can do that using research and discussion to create common understanding. And, since you’re here, we hope you want the same thing. So we suggest getting comfortable, and maybe having a good drink on hand as we work through this stuff. Welcome to our fireside.

In our intro we promise you complex and controversial conversations, and we are back again to wrap up our conversation on one of the most complex and controversial topics of the last 12 months - Critical Race Theory.
Last week, we told you the story of how this bootstrapped, leap of faith framework came to be; and how it came to dominate conversations in the news media and at the company watercooler. This week we’re diving into the shallow end of the pool of academia to talk about how CRT and other social science theories are used, and take a look at the areas in which the application of Critical Race Theory is the most controversial - in schools, and in diversity training. Oh yeah, and then we’ll tackle that whole CRT= Marxism thing.
