A Dark Horse in Low Light Shadeism

This week's guest is Dr. Lorna Roth, a Distinguished Professor Emerita, Communication Studies (that is a big deal y'all) from Concordia University. Dr. Roth takes us on her path to becoming a celebrated researcher in the skin tone landscape. Her journey involves a tiny bit of corporate espionage and a whole lot of patience as she walks us through her work on uncovering Shirley Cards, mapping the racial biases built into the technology used by thr media, photography, film and cinema industries and the impact it has on the AI of today. The common theme running through her work is the idea of cognitive equity, and how we can work to create a more just world for the future generation.
