#BoldConversations The Third Condition: Engaging Multiple Perspectives
In this session, we are discussing "The Third Condition: Engaging Multiple Perspectives". The Third Condition will normalize the social construction of knowledge, thus engaging multiple racial points of view in order to surface critical perspective. This concept acknowledges the process through which racial meaning is inherited, interpreted, and passed on from one generation to the next.
