In episode 6 of Deep Dive into Critical Race Theory, Will and Khiara dig into healthcare disparities, discussing possible systemic causes from housing to hospital placements to environmental justice. The discussion circles back to many earlier themes, including implicit bias, structural racism, and more.

In episode 5 of Deep Dive into Critical Race Theory, Will and Khiara discuss the implications of critical race theory interacts on education. They start with critical race theory and K-12 education, including some surprising arguments about Brown v. Board of Education. Then they graduate to affirmative action in college admissions. They also discuss what makes CRT "radical" and what true educational "utopia" would look like.

In episode 4 of Deep Dive into Critical Race Theory, Will and Khiara discuss intersectionality, how we can focus on more than one injustice at time, and how the lens of intersectionality lets us examine the connections between different injustices.

In episode 3 of Deep Dive into Critical Race Theory, Will and Khiara zero in on “implicit bias.” They discuss criticisms of anti-racism trainings, legal definitions of racism, the use of social science, and start to preview health disparities and environmental racism, which they will return to a few episodes later.
