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.
Just a week before a divisive presidential election, Deval Patrick, the former governor of Massachusetts, and a candidate in the Democratic primaries for the 2020 presidential election, and Jeff Flake, the Republican former U.S. Senator from Arizona and former member of the House of Representatives, shared their insights on the state of the American government as it struggles to maintain its institutions in the face of deep racial inequities.
In a rare across-the-aisle conversation about racial equity, Patrick and Flake talked frankly with Professor Brian Lowery about how race has affected their experiences as politicians in Washington, examined why political parties must reinvent themselves, and discussed the urgent need for citizens and business to re-engage with the political process.
This is Leadership for Society: The Podcast, a series of conversations hosted by Brian Lowery, senior associate dean for academic affairs at Stanford GSB, that focuses on the most pressing issues of today. In this season of the podcast, Lowery explores the role of race in society, how race interacts with structures of power, and how systemic racism manifests itself in day-to-day business and policy decisions.
