The podcast centers on a single question: Is human nature inherently good or bad? Even though the final question is the same in each episode, the people I interview changes every week, bringing new opinions, experiences and answers.
This episode, we dive into a really interesting conversation about Irish immigrants, how they eventually came to be recognized as part of the American story and what that journey says about humanity as a whole. Dr. Stephen Brighton, professor of anthropology at the University of Maryland, explains how Irish immigration to the US is similar to other diasporas throughout history, and what the concepts of prejudice, tolerance, assimilation and segregation say about humanity as a species.

Diversity and Justice with Jen Cort
Diversity. Justice. Equity. Equality. All buzz words of the past year, but what do they really mean? They're all concepts that have been around for millennia, but we just can't seem to get it right. What does that say about humanity and how can we work towards practicing these concepts in every interaction?
Jen Cort is a diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice consultant working with international schools and organizations. She's also the host of the podcast Third Space. Connect with her via the links below:
