In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Daman Harris, author of The Antiracist School Leader, a guide for school and organizational leaders to develop cultural competence and responsiveness through practical, everyday actions. We explore Daman's inspiration for the book and the strategies he suggests for leaders who face resistance when introducing antiracist policies from staff, parents, or the wider community. Dr. Harris shares insights on fostering meaningful conversations about race and equity among educators, even those hesitant to engage.
Throughout our discussion, Daman emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and provides guidance for leaders embarking on an antiracism journey. He explains the concept of homophily and its impact on diversity work, underscoring why understanding this dynamic is essential. Daman also discusses the value of continuous professional development in sustaining an antiracist school culture and shares advice for keeping staff motivated in this ongoing effort. For school leaders dedicated to integrating antiracist practices in their schools or districts, Daman's book is a must-read.
