Diversity-related training is one of the most contentious issues in higher education today. They have become embedded in the culture wars and spark intense moral disagreements. Musa al-Gharbi, a Fellow in Sociology at Columbia University, has done a deep dive into the research on the efficacy of these trainings. In today’s episode, we speak with Musa and listen to his blog, “‘Diversity Training’ Doesn’t Work. This Might.”
To engage deeper with Musa’s ideas, check out his three-part series on diversity-related training.
