    Intergenerational Approaches to Social Justice Work: Learning from the Past to Advance Future Conversations Across Values Divides

    Intergenerational Approaches to Social Justice Work: Learning from the Past to Advance Future Conversations Across Values Divides  Talk It Out Radio: Friday, November 15, 2024, 3:00 pm on KPFA Radio 94.1 FM (Berkeley and beyond) or livestream at kpfa.org: Host Nancy Kahn welcomes guests Aparna Rajagopal and Raju Rajagopal to a timely conversation about intergenerational approaches to social justice work across values divides. Both guests have worked at the intersection of human rights, and bring their voices of resistance to caste, racism, and all forms of bigotry and oppression. As father and daughter, they dedicate time to sharing their work with one another and engaging in conversations about their perspectives and approaches across a generational divide.  At a time when this country needs champions with both the experience, wisdom, and deep sensitivity around ways to engage people in generative and respectful dialogue. Aparna and Raju share their generational approaches to holding difficult conversations (differences/similarities), particularly in the wake of the even more deeply divided America that we are facing with the Trump re-presidency. This conversation brings the best of humanity to the table to expand and reimagine new possibilities for how we advance civil and human rights advocacy and environmental justice work.   Listen live or, after the show airs, visit the archives at kpfa.org/program/talk-it-out-radio or iTunes!
