Reconstructing Inclusion S3E14: Joe Gerstandt on Identity, Structure, and What Comes Next for Inclusion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to the Reconstructing Inclusion Podcast!I’ve known Joe Gerstandt for a long time. We’ve been going back and forth on the same questions for years about what diversity and inclusion work is actually for.
