Ep 3 – Hagerman and the White Kids

Professor and author, Dr. Margaret Hagerman, discusses her new book – White Kids: Growing Up With Privilege in a Racially Divided America. Dr. Hagerman conducted an ethnography of a community in the mid-west. She spent two years living in a community and interviewing white, wealthy families and their middle school aged children on their ideas about race, education, privilege, etc.

We discuss her work, and what it tells us about the importance of the types of environments in which we raise our kids.
