From Jessica Nordell, author of The End of Bias: A Beginning, monthly conversations with thinkers about becoming more human, trustworthy, and free.
Welcome!
The title comes from Adrienne Rich’s poem “If Your Name is on the List,” which ends like this:
suddenly a narrow street a little beach a little century
screams Don't let me go….
….do you forget
what we were to each other
These conversations grapple with being a person in a difficult world, repairing our relationships with ourselves, and deepening our relationships with others.
Here you’ll find:
Playwright V (formerly Eve Ensler) on the miracle of apology
Therapist Barbara Jensen on whether cross-class friendship is possible
Historian Ethan Katz on the new antisemitism
My hope is that these conversations help us all create more authentic relationships with ourselves, others, and the world.
I’m Jessica Nordell, author, journalist, keynote speaker, and anthem rock drummer. My book The End of Bias: A Beginning explores how people, organizations, and cultures have become less biased and more fair and humane. It’s now been translated into seven languages, most recently Arabic! You may have seen my computer science research collaboration that shows how small biases accumulate over time.
I’m so glad you’re here!
