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":"Scholarship as Resistance: Elevating The Stories Of Black Employees Under Authoritarian Leadership with Darryl B.

Rice, Associate Professor of Management and Richard T. Farmer Associate Professor at Miami University, returns to discuss a recent article he and his team published on how authoritarian leadership harms Black employees in the workplace. Rice argues that, in the context of workplaces in the United States, authoritarianism is an extension of racial oppression rooted in slavery and Jim Crow, and their research shows it reduces Black employees’ perceptions of a psychologically safe environment, making it harder to thrive. He talks about the leadership implications of their research and validates Black employees’ instincts as they experience racism at work. Dr. Rice also shares practical advice for organizational leaders and listeners contemplating their next moves on their activism journey. He talks about racial retrenchment and the ongoing backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, the impact left in the wake of institutional leadership's capitulation to the current administration, and the need for courageous leadership in these times. Dr. Rice also previews what’s next in his area of research, focusing on the impact of inclusive leadership, trust, and organizational commitment to equity. 00:00 Workplace Research Takeaways 04:05 Show Intro 05:08 Why This Article Matters 08:44 Authoritarianism As Oppression 14:27 How The Studies Worked 18:34 Leadership Implications 22:44 Future Research Directions 32:45 What Gives Me Hope And What Keeps Me Up At Night 41:00 Advice For Finding Your Role In Social Change 44:25 Wrap Up And Credits Dr. Rice's Previous Episode: Jim Crow 2.0: How Anti-DEI Laws Are Rooted in Systemic Anti-Black Racism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8w7xCOMI-A&list=…","meta_description":"In this educational segment of Social Justice Origin Stories, Dr. Darryl B.
