Through conversations with a diverse array of leaders, Senior Associate Dean Brian Lowery explores the role of race in society, how race interacts with structures of power, and how systemic racism manifests itself in institutions and in our daily lives. These candid and honest conversations show how future leaders' decisions might lead to different outcomes for different people, based on race.
This podcast is part of Stanford Graduate School of Business' Leadership for Society series.
Stories tell us who we are and help us understand others. They also suggest who we can be, if we overcome the ongoing divides in this country. In this podcast episode, Professor Brian Lowery sits down with American journalist and publishing executive Dana Canedy, dubbed by the New York Times as “one of the most powerful Black women in the literary world” who is “poised to alter the culture and the divisions she leads and shape the landscape.”
In this conversation, Lowery and Canedy touch on the difference between living a story and telling a story authentically. Canedy shares her goals of giving publishing contracts to voices often unheard, always aiming, she says, “to engage people in conversations that enrich our understanding of one another, foster real communications” and eventually lead to policy change.
