Mothers & More Discussion: Talking with children about race and diversity

Join Michael Baran, PhD, professor of cultural anthropology and Director of Cambridge Diversity Consulting, for a discussion on how kids learn about race. Baran runs the Race Awareness Project, which brings together art, technology, and education to get people talking about race. They have recently designed two Apps for the iPhone/iPad that get kids and adults thinking and talking about race. The goal is to share anthropological, historical, psychological and sociological insights about race – how race developed, how race is historically changing, and how race affects our everyday lives as it intersects with other categories of identity such as ethnicity, nationality, religion, and gender. For parents of toddlers-teens.
