Why don’t we really talk about race or racism in polite society? We don’t talk about it accounting circles for the most part because its difficult to do. In this podcast I seek to upend this. Talk is good and I hope this will be the start of a great conversation around race and what it means in society and accounting. 

For many years I have pondered this vexing issue. Why don't we have more Black partners and CEOs around the area of financial service provision and business in general? In this episode we begin to explore some causes and perhaps suggest remedies that would see greater representation of Black professionals and other people of color in the C-Suite.

Much has been said about what this idea is but do we really know what it is? In this podcast I reveal the basic structure of CRT and its development and use today as well as how it can be applied to accounting and business settings

In this episode we explore racial tales. Whether we like it or not we all tell tales about the world around us and the society we live in. But which tale is 'Truth' and whose truthful tale matters more in a society that is racialized? What affect does this have in our working life and those who work within it? Together in this podcast we delve deeper into these issues. 

In this week’s podcast we ask the question when will we achieve equality in our workplace environments? Firms have been working on this vexing question for decades and yet we seem no closer at getting the number of people of color to increase in our professional workplaces. In accounting the situation is acute. But why is this? When will we reach a position where stigmatized people no longer feel that barriers exist in their strive to reach the C-Suite?

In this week’s episode we discuss the reality of everyday racism in the workplace. What is working life like for the racialized Other who must deal with stunning but brief acts of racial incivility?  Often, this subtle form of racism is referred to as Microaggression and comes in many variants, often making life on the job intolerable for people of color. Can anything be done to cure this issue?

Like me have you ever wondered why a tsunami of anger is being currently leveled at Critical Race Theory? Or perhaps you know why and feel that it is more than justified! In this episode I review some of the main arguments against CRT and make my own case for why I believe much of what is said against CRT is wrong. I hope that I can set the record straight to what CRT really is and show its usefulness as a way of making our professions and society more representative for those people of color (among many others) who have suffered in the past and continue to do so today. 

It is difficult to talk about race and it is particularly difficult in our more modern times. But why is this? In this show I put forward the case that the Whiteness of everyday life is responsible. It is the Whiteness of Western society that is a hidden benchmark to which all nonwhite people are compared against. It is the way that People of Color live in a 'Whiteworld', which is a harsh and unforgiving world that is seldom seen by white people. It is the way white people are often Colorblind to race and therefore cannot speak about it.
