Cyndi Kernahan discusses her book Teaching About Race and Racism in the College Classroom on episode 552 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Students begin to better understand institutionalized racism, which is my main goal for them.
-Cyndi Kernahan

When we focus on it as systemic, it allows students to stop focusing so much on themselves about, like, am I a good person or am I a bad person?
-Cyndi Kernahan

There’s a lot of psych research that shows that it’s easier for people to think about their own social privilege when they can also think about other parts of their identity that may not hold as much privilege.
