A podcast that makes us all aware of the subconscious biases we hold against others as a result of living in a racialised society. A podcast that can teach us what the first steps of 'being anti-racist' truly means. Note: Everything you hear is first and foremost our subjective opinions, feelings and interpretations. If there is anything you may find confounding, surprising, or even wrong, reach out to us - this is a platform for a joint learning exploration, not a strive for a definite and absolute answer. Transcripts of each episode available in English, French, German and Italian at www.ourcontexts.org This series is powered by the Competence Centre for Diversity & Inclusion (CCDI) at the University of St. Gallen (https://ccdi-unisg.ch/en/).https://our_racism.captivate.fmtrueepisodicnopodcastGLGLWhat does it mean to identify as an Afrolatino man?
