Season 3 Ep 10: Black History Month, Part 1 - The Risk of Singular Narratives

In this episode, in Poppin’ Culture, we discuss the need for representation, and The Danger of a Single Story, Chimimanda Ngozi Adichie’s TED talk. Then,  we do an Academic Deep Dive into the new article, “Family Structure, Risks, and Racial Stratification in Poverty,” recently published in the journal Social Problems. Written by Dr. Deadric Williams at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Dr. Regina Baker at the University of Pennsylvania, the authors explore whether family structure has an impact on poverty, using a racial stratification lens. Finally, in Good or Bad Advice we discuss the conversation by Tiktok creators around Encanto!
