The student DIC will resume in the Winter Quarter. A new episode is selected for each meeting, with topics ranging from race and identity, to ableism and disability, and anti-fat bias. Podcast club is an informal event for anyone who is interested in DEI-related topics, and it doesn’t follow a sequence, so you can join the conversation any time during the quarter! If you would like to be added to the podcast club e-mail list, please fill out the quick form below (only Northwestern affiliates):

Podcast club on January 25th, 2022: Code Switch: A whiteness that’s only skin deep

Description: We use words related to color to describe different racial categories all the time — Black, white, brown. But how much of race and identity actually has to do with the color of your skin? What if what appears to be “whiteness” is only skin deep? Today we’re sharing stories from people of color with albinism whose experiences challenge what many people think they know about race.
