Tips and Tactics for Talking about Race
Copyright :
Race remains a potent and polarizing issue in all domains of our society and unfortunately, the world of therapy is no exception. Despite the omnipresence of race in our lives, progressive and meaningful conversations about it remain somewhere between difficult and impossible, often characterized by avoidance, discomfort, and awkwardness. Clinicians and other human services workers are often relied upon to navigate these difficult conversations, but many lack the requisite tools to do so.
Kenneth V. Hardy, PhD
From early in his storied career in the therapy world, Ken Hardy, PhD, has confronted ignorance of the BIPOC experience and maintained a decades-long, unwavering focus on training and challenging practitioners on issues of oppression, diversity, whiteness, and trauma. His voice has attracted consistent media attention, and his many appearances include the Oprah Winfrey Show, Dateline NBC, and 20/20. As much an activist and bridge builder as a practitioner and healer, he continues to shape our pivotal dialogues as president of the Eikenberg Academy for Social Justice and director of its Institute for Relationships in New York City. His latest book, The Enduring, Invisible, and Ubiquitous Centrality of Whiteness, is being called “the book we’ve been needing to cultivate a society where multiple ideologies can coexist without domination, marginalization, or indoctrination."
