Through truth-telling: the honest sharing of their experiences, storytellers teach us about themselves, enabling us to learn about ourselves and our world through their stories. By reconnecting with pivotal moments of activation in their lives, they invite us to do the same. At Social Justice Origin Stories, we believe that there's power in storytelling and that lived experience is experience. There's room enough for all of us to do this work. There are many ways to contribute, and our contributions don't need to be the same. We can enter and remain engaged in the work using the gifts that are special to us while supporting others and using theirs. We have the capacity to grow and change for the better when exposed to new information and experiences. We believe in our inherent worth and capabilities, and we possess the power to inspire and create change in ourselves and others. We can transcend the confines of the status quo to imagine and design more equitable and humanizing systems.…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T00:17:42.007041+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/social-justice-origin-stories-7031511"},"episode":{"title":"Jim Crow 2.0: How Anti-DEI Laws Are Rooted In Systemic Anti-Black Racism with Darryl B.

Rice, Associate Professor of Management and Richard T. Farmer Associate Professor at Miami University, shares the research findings he and co-authors Dr. Tsedale Melaku and Dr. Jennifer R. Bishop write about in their forthcoming article: Jim Crow 2.0: Understanding Present-Day Anti-DEI Laws as A Function of Cross Generation Transmission of Systemic Anti-Black Racism in the special issue of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: on “The Backlash Against DEI Programs. Dr. Rice connects Jim Crow era anti-Black violence and modern anti-DEI legislation, and how social conservatism as a political ideology, and the use of the southern strategy across Trump’s presidential campaigns, exploits racial resentment against Black people, fueling current attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion. He talks about the inclusion tax: the disproportionate costs that are placed on Black people navigating predominantly white institutional and professional spaces, the impact of institutional capitulation to demands to roll back or end DEI policy, and how, by refusing to name and fight systemic anti-Black racism, organizations fail their Black employees. He also shares considerations for leaders and Black staff on resisting, advocating for equity, and protecting their psychological safety. 00:00 Introduction to Organizational Justice and DEI 01:07 Personal Motivations and Background 03:13 Systemic Racism and Historical Context 05:16 Research Findings and Political Implications 10:30 The Role of Social Justice and Advocacy 11:41 Interview with Dr. Darryl Rice 20:56 Understanding Anti-DEI Laws 28:32 The Southern Strategy and Its Impact 39:46 The DEI Attack on Higher Education 40:54 Impact on Black Women in the Workplace 43…","meta_description":"In this educational segment of Social Justice Origin Stories, Dr. Darryl B.
