In this article, professor Guy Nave discusses "equity-mindedness" and how if we can't hold diversity, inclusion, and equity as separate and distinct concepts — and understand how they interact with one another — we can’t set clear goals and strategies around them.
Prof. Nave takes a moment on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to encourage people to challenge the "giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism," King addressed during his "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence" speech.
Professor Nave encourages people to experience change and be willing to see other sides of an idea, even if it challenges existing opinions and perspectives.
Professor Nave uses modern day references (a statement from Betsy DeVos and the film "Hidden Figures") to challenge us to dismantle racist practices and wipe away the romanticized delusion of the past to make America and the world great.
Guy Nave explains the "zero-sum fallacy"—the belief that all resources are fixed and limited, therefore, one person's gain is always another person's loss, and how when it comes to justice... more justice for one, is more justice for all.
In response to Donald Trump's presidential campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again," Professor Guy Nave asks at what point during America's 250-year history of slavery, lynching, Jim Crow, segregation, anti-Civil Rights violence and other sundry forms of racialized violence and discrimination was America "great."
