  • Summary

  • Podcast co-hosts and co-editors of the book ⁠From White Folks Who Teach in the Hood⁠, Dr. Christopher Emdin and sam seidel speak with Jim Bentley. Jim has been teaching for 29 years. He is a National Geographic Explorer and Education Fellow, a member of the PBLWorks national faculty, a KQED Media Literacy Innovator, and PBS Digital Innovator All-Star. He is also the author of an essay in From White Folks Who Teach in the Hood. In the essay, titled “The Path to Forming My Identity,” Jim reflects on his journey to understanding racism and its impact on his students and himself. In this episode, he talks with Chris and sam about some of the people who have taught him along the way, the possibilities that open up with the release of ego, and how—contrary to popular belief—a two-day professional development session on racial equity can have a career altering impact.
