Tru Talk: The State of Dialogue Pt.2

Tru Talk: To Think In Color

Our conversation this week is with Donovan Harvey, Data Analyst for the Urban Institute in Chicago, Il. What better way to celebrate pride than with a special edition of Tru Talk, that helps our listeners "Think In Color?" This episode we discuss how society has limited the scope of our individual ability to perceive, interpret and engage with the world through the ways we engage with data. From a US context, we investigate how antiquated thinking systems impact everything from policy, data/research, and personal meaning making. We want people to walk away with a greater awareness of how they personally perceive their environment and use it as a tool to better engage difference for the sake of fighting divisiveness.

Join us as we discuss the impacts of how storytelling can shape perception of everything from public discourse to supporting voting rights for the incarcerated.
