In our politically charged climate engaging in racial dialogue can feel like walking through a landmine, evoking tension, defensiveness, and hypervigilance among all involved. But what if it did not have to be this way? By drawing on the science of positive psychology, it may be possible to have meaningful and difficult conversations about important matters, such as racial inequity and social justice, that invite us to lean in rather than lean out. In this presentation with Dr. Anica Camela Mulzac, she discusses the practical ways of employing positive psychology tools and interventions in social justice work.
