Wokeism

The concept of wokeism goes deep into the soul of America, where a history that’s often cruel, unfair and unjust tries to reconcile with what we desire to be a modern, just society. The concept speaks of systemic racism and Critical Race Theory as it wrestles with a shifting demographic, where rule by old white men is no longer a given.

In this podcast we’re joined by Dr. Michael Karson, who offers a psychological perspective on wokeism. Dr. Karson teaches at the University of Denver’s Graduate School of Professional Psychology. He has practiced clinical and forensic psychology for 25 years before entering academia. He has authored or co-authored several books on psychology, and he has written dozens of short - yet highly informative - articles for Psychology Today, the world’s largest mental health and behavioral science destination online - exclusively dedicated to the study of human behavior.
