What does it look like to meet people where they are and at the same time ask people to move forward with you even when (especially when) it feels uncomfortable?

How can we, not only build awareness but also, generate curiosity, and experience exposure to diverse ways of being and making meaning?

Diane Grimes is an associate professor of Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University. She works to encourage the mindful and critical interrogation of unexamined assumptions around issues of race.
Liz Cooney is a queer writer, facilitator, and speaker from Des Moines, Iowa. Her work focuses on helping people communicate more effectively through valuing differences and navigating difficult conversations.
Together, they are the co-authors of Through the Lens of Whiteness: Challenging Racialized Imagery in Pop Culture.
In this conversation, Abbie, Diane, and Liz discuss Diane and Liz’s new book, including the inspiration for their book, their own personal experiences that led them to begin considering their own whiteness, and how this work moves us toward a better social world. Diane and Liz share stories from their own lives about the moments when they began to build awareness. Finally, Abbie, Diane, and Liz explore meaning-making and storytelling as a way to invite people into the conversation.
