We Need To Talk About Whiteness - with Robin DiAngelo

Episode 1 - White fragility - She's an American academic, lecturer, and author working in the fields of critical discourse analysis and whiteness studies - her book "White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism" has been a US bestseller and provoked an uncomfortable conversation in the USA on what it means to be white. And for Episode No1 of the "We need to talk about Whiteness Podcast", Dr Robin DiAngelo joins me for a conversation about how the term is slowly gaining currency in the UK, whether it is transferable, from a US context and why these conversations continue to feel so thorny. Enjoy!
