This week our host, Jillian Foster, is joined by Dr. Whitney Pirtle, Black feminist and Professor of Sociology at the University of California Merced, where she’s also the MacArthur Foundation chair. Dr. Pirtle’s work centers on racial capitalism, which examines how structures and systems of oppression have influenced the impact of COVID-19 on communities of color. Dr. Pirtle helpfully shares the ways she wrestles with her own activist tensions, how she contributes within her “own lane”, and what it really means to fight for the collective. Rooted in the need for structural change, Dr. Pirtle’s work will inspire you to pave the equitable path forward.
