Every day during quarantine, I’d start my morning with a cup of coffee and an hour or so of reading. This quiet and gentle morning routine allowed me to read 37 books (listed at the end) from March to December, ranging in genres from fantasy to memoir to non-fiction theory…

In a disturbing and eye-opening piece for the New York Times, Erica Green and Katie Benner expose the abuse and exploitation of Black families by Michael and Tracey Landry within T.M. Landry College Preparatory School. With painstaking detail, Green and Benner offer stories of underqualified teachers, doctored transcripts, fabricated college…

I’ve been called racist before. It was back during George Zimmerman’s trial for the murder of Trayvon Martin when his lawyer opened with a knock-knock joke.

Well wonder no more because Gallup interviewed over 3,000 college students, who definitely…

Have you ever wondered if you — regular, every day white woman — are a part of a coalition of garbage white women who are destroying this country? I do. All the time, actually. I’d say a maximum of 35% of us aren’t garbage. And if you’re thinking, “well me…

Full time Chicago Booth professor and part time Matrix villain, Luigi Zingales, recently held a town hall to defend his invitation to Steve Bannon to speak at the university.
