In this episode of The Lion's Roar Podcast, Lion’s Roar’s Sandi Rankawduwa talks to Dr. Tania Israel, Professor of Counseling Psychology and Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the University of California, Santa Barbara. With 25 years of expertise in LGBTQ psychology and social justice, and as the author of Facing the Fracture: How to Navigate the Challenges of Living in a Divided Nation, Dr. Israel offers invaluable insights on bridging divides with compassion.
