Ready to bring a critical lens to your concept of 'niceness'?

The chapters show that Niceness functions both as a shield to save educators from having to do the hard work of dismantling inequity and as a disciplining agent for those who attempt or even consider disrupting structures of dominance."
On this episode we sit down with the editor of that collection: Dr. Angelina E. Castagno to discuss some of the learning in The Price of Nice
