Join guest Dr. Robin DiAngelo and host laura brewer for a discussion of making love through disrupting white fragility and white supremacy. Dr. DiAngelo is a sociologist, a researcher, and an expert in whiteness. She travels the country educating and working with other white people around a deeper understanding of how whiteness, white supremacy, and white fragility function in the individual and collective identities of white people.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- What white fragility is, how it’s different from white supremacy (and racism), and what triggers white fragility in white people
- What dismantling white supremacy and interrupting white fragility has to do with love
- What does it mean to be white
- What “to do” about white fragility and why an urgent rush to take action can be problematic
- How to give and receive feedback on racism
Welcome to a conversation about making love through “a struggle for justice.”
Thank you for listening!
