Just Talk: Facing the Divide
Facing the Divide is a video series designed to bring psychological science to the conversation regarding the connections among race, racism and health. The videos are designed to help facilitate constructive dialogues around race in the classroom or workplace. The first video in the series outlines the complex issues associated with race-related stress and fosters group discussions that promote critical thinking, increase empathy, and encourage social perspective-taking. Dr. Andrea Herrera will moderate a conversation based following the film.
