Can racism’s devastating impact on individuals, communities, and societies be prevented? What can each of us do to reduce racism in America? Is there more we can do to diminish discrimination?
In this live virtual webinar, Endeavor Literary Press editor Glenn McMahan will hold an in-depth conversation with Dr. Peter Huang, author of the new book Disrupting Racism. In the book, which is endorsed by two Nobel Prize-winning economists, Dr. Huang argues that we can do more to reduce racism by applying economics, behavioral science, and cognitive neuroscience—a holistic approach.

Dr. Huang will be joined in this conversation by Dr. Henry Lee, a world-renowned forensic scientist. Born in China and growing up in Taiwan, Dr. Lee came to the United States in 1965 and, through hard work and persistence, became a leading crime-solver with a PhD in biochemistry from NYU. He offers a long-range view of racism in American society.
Together Dr. Huang and Dr. Lee will share their knowledge about combatting racism and their personal experiences as Asian Americans.
