Under the Arch | S4 Ep.8: "Who's Afraid of Black Studies?" ft. Christopher Tinson
Manage episode 367829499 series 2529999
“Happy” 4th of July to America, where 36 states have adopted laws that restrict teaching about race and racism. Instead of promoting the unquestioning jingoism that often characterizes this holiday, we want to share this conversation on the role of Black Studies as a critically important lens in the academy and broader society.
Our hosts speak with Dr. Christopher Tinson, Associate Professor of African American Studies and History at Saint Louis University, about the obsessive demonization of Critical Race Theory over the past few years and the fear associated with discussing real history.
