Bayou to Beltway: August 4, 2021

Bayou to Beltway interviews Dr. Taniecea Mallery, Executive Director of Strategic Initiatives and Chief Diversity Officer on Critical Race Theory as it impacts UL Lafayette.

Dr. Mallery speaks with Pearson Cross about the difficulty of seeing differential outcomes through a "racist-non-racist" point of view, and explains what Critical Race Theory brings to the discussion, dispelling, in the process, the miasma of misinformation and misunderstanding surrounding the term. Ms. Mallery talks about what diversity, equity and inclusion means for institutions and what it looks like in STEM fields including nursing and math.
