OWL Episode 4- Critical Race Theory... Dangerous? with Dr Jamila Mascat

This podcast episode explores Critical Race Theory (CRT), a cross-disciplinary research field that challenges the idea of race as biologically based and argues it's a social construct. CRT examines how racial constructs shape social, political, and legal infrastructures, while intersectionality recognizes the interconnectedness of systems of domination like racism and sexism. The political nature of CRT is highlighted in light of the Black Lives Matter movement and the backlash against CRT in the US. The question of whether CRT is dangerous is raised, with the argument that it can be seen as a threat to those resisting societal changes towards racial justice and equality.
