How to End Racialization with Dr. Carlos Hoyt - Ep. 31
Description
Our guest this week is Dr. Carlos Hoyt. Carlos is a teacher, author, and facilitator providing guidance beyond the false and problematic habits of mind that result in social bias. He explores race, racial identity, and related issues as a scholar, teacher, psychotherapist, parent, and racialized member of our society. In his book, The Arc of a Bad Idea: Understanding and Transcending Race, as well as his workshops and lectures, Dr. Hoyt interrogates master narratives and the dominant discourse on race with the goal of illuminating and virtuously disrupting the racial worldview.
We discuss his unique views on racial identity and how he developed them, how we should approach the reality of genetic differences between human groups without using race, his background and work as a DEI facilitator, affinity groups, and his change.org petition to amend the 2030 census to improve the collection of "race" data and whether it inadvertently reinforces racial categories or actually works to dismantle them.
