In These Times, Season 2 | Repair, Part 1 (Ep. 6)

OMNIA Podcast

This season, we’ve spoken to experts about how institutions have perpetuated racial hierarchies. Higher education is no exception. In our final two episodes, we’re talking to students and faculty about the work that comes next. This episode features an undergraduate student whose research with the Penn and Slavery Project reveals truths about the relationship between higher education and the perpetuation of scientific racism and a graduate student whose work on bioethics and philosophy of race can offer insights on health disparities and how we might address them.

Guests:

Carson Eckhard, C'21

Ian Peebles, Ph.D. candidate in philosophy
