Launch of Reckoning: Creating Positive Change Through Radical Empathy

Anti-racist movements have continued to grow worldwide after the death of George Floyd in 2020. Following the BLM protests, many promises were made to deal with the impact of structural discrimination. While this led to more talk than action, there has also been meaningful change, some of which has gone under the radar. The US media focused primarily on the backlash that resulted in book bans and laws against having EDI/DEI offices in universities.

In this book, a follow-up to her bestselling book Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides, Terri Givens highlights the promises that were delivered. She focuses on hope and taking action and creating a positive environment.

Join Terri in conversation with Fiona Adamson, Professor of Political and International Relations, SOAS discussing creating a positive environment using the radical empathy approach to empower ongoing change.
