Show notes

Many of us grew up playing in our neighborhood parks, using those shared spaces for family picnics, going for a run or a game of softball. Over the last year or so of the pandemic, we’ve found a new appreciation for the value of these outdoor community areas. But with a number of racially charged incidents in places like New York’s Central Park and Oakland, CA, we’re also learning anew how race is deeply embedded in who feels safe and welcome in these environments. Join Brian Lowery as he explores how we create, claim and share space. Guests include Mitchell Silver, Commissioner, New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, author Richard Rothstein, artist Konstance Patton, and Ibrahim Greenidge of BOLT Architecture.

Show notes

Whether we think about it or not, race is an ever present aspect of our lives. From our workplace, to our schools, as we walk down the street, race is embedded in our everyday experience. But what's really happening, what’s my role, and what does it mean for me? Those are questions Brian Lowery’s been asking for “Know What You See”, a podcast about the hidden social forces shaping our lives. Brian is a social psychologist and a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. In this season of the show, he talks with guests from a wide range of backgrounds to get their perspectives on race and power.
