Today on the podcast we are joined by Bob Kim and Liz Kleinrock for a special conversation.

Bob is a former civil rights attorney, and leading expert in education law and policy in the United States. He has served in the Obama administration in the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, and has also served as a senior policy analyst at the National Education Association. He is the author of Elevating Equity and Justice: 10 U.S. Supreme Court Cases Every Teacher Should Know.

Liz is an anti-bias anti-racist educator who teachers middle school in Washington D.C.. In addition to classroom teaching, Liz also works as an antibias antiracist facilitator for schools, organizations, and companies across the country. Her work has gained national recognition through a documentary short produced by Fluid Film, and media outlets such as CNN, The Washington Post, NPR, and BBC. In 2018, Liz received Teaching Tolerance's 2018 Award for Excellence in Teaching, and currently serves on the Teaching Tolerance Advisory Board. Liz is the author of the forthcoming book Start Here, Start Now A Guide to Antibias and Antiracist Work in Your School Community.

Bob and Liz join us today in the wake of both a rise of incidents and increased coverage of anti-Asian hate crimes and racism in the past weeks, months, and year. We’re grateful that both Bob and Liz offered to share their personal experience and professional expertise in this moment to bring increased awareness to the impacts of anti-Asian racism and how to take action.
