Do you see any parallels between South African and American law enforcement strategies? Why or why not?
What alternative models to traditional law enforcement do you think may be successful?
In what ways can we make an impact in our local law enforcement against racism, violence, and oppression?

In the final of two episodes of this interview, J and Joe discuss white fatigue, identity development, social justice education, activism, antiracism, and the role of white folks in movements for racial justice and equity.

On White Fatigue:
“White Fatigue: Rethinking Resistance for Social Justice explores how what passes for multicultural education in schools is often promotion of human relations and tolerance rather than a sustained critical examination of how race and racism shape social, political, economic, and educational opportunities for various groups, both historically and currently. Simultaneously, our nation’s social mores have changed over time and millions of White Americans find racism morally reprehensible. This book illustrates that despite that shift, it is not uncommon to experience White Americans―in classrooms and other spaces―struggling to understand how racism functions. White fatigue is an idea that helps explain and differentiate this struggle for better understanding among White folks who feel racism is wrong but do not yet have an understanding of how racism functions. White Fatigue ultimately argues that if we are to advance our national conversation on race, educators must be willing to define reactions to conversations about race with more nuances, lest we alienate potential allies, accomplices, and leaders in the fight against racial injustice.” -Peter Lang Publishers

On Humanity’s Last Stand:
“Surveying the struggles of disenfranchised peoples around the globe from frontline communities affected by climate change, to #BlackLivesMatter activists, to Indigenous water protectors, to migrant communities facing increasing hostility, anthropologist Mark Schuller argues that we must develop radical empathy in order to move beyond simply identifying as “allies” and start acting as “accomplices.” Bringing together the insights of anthropologists and activists from many cultures, this timely study shows us how to stand together and work toward a more inclusive vision of humanity before it’s too late.” -Rutger’s University Press

In the second and final episode of this interview, J and Kevin discuss themes in Radical Hope, including inclusive pedagogy, the hidden curriculum on college campuses, making syllabi worth reading, and embracing the cultural capital of students in the classroom.

On Radical Hope:
“From the publisher: Higher education has seen better days. Harsh budget cuts, the precarious nature of employment in college teaching, and political hostility to the entire enterprise of education have made for an increasingly fraught landscape. Radical Hope is an ambitious response to this state of affairs, at once political and practical—the work of an activist, teacher, and public intellectual grappling with some of the most pressing topics at the intersection of higher education and social justice.” -West Virginia University Press
