Dr. Alaysia Black Hackett is the former Chief Diversity and Equity Officer at the Department of
Labor under the Biden Administration. In her former role, Dr. Black Hackett was tasked with embedding equity into federal workforce systems. Dr. Hackett is the author of the book, “The Diversity Illusion”. This book boldly critiques how equity initiatives have been diluted across government and corporate systems—and how performative action has often replaced structural progress.

Dr. Hackett joins the show to  further discuss the context of her book, and to talk about why DEI practices are beneficial to organizations.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 170

It is long past time we take a look at the Communist Manifesto (instead of just sending it to dubious Woke Right outlets and getting them to publish it: https://newdiscourses.com/2024/12/a-communist-manifesto-for-christian-nationalists-testing-the-woke-right/). Obviously, this infamous document (pdf: https://www.marxists.org/admin/books/manifesto/Manifesto.pdf) is not the beginning point of Communism, but is the beginning point of organized Communism, particularly of the Marxist type, which we have recently (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/06/communism-is-not-atheist) and thoroughly discussed. In this long-overdue episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through the main body of the Manifesto of the Communist Party: preface, chapter one, and chapter two. In a subsequent episode (Volume Two in this mini-series) he will cover a later addition called "The Principles of Communism." There's a lot here, and you won't want to miss it.

The Communist Manifesto, Volume One

A diversity gay pride dance tune about active dreaming featuring DIVA VIVA
DANCE WITH MY DREAMS (Ellis- Harz)

I used to wake up in a cold sweat, so close to tears
My dreams were like shadows, reflecting all of my fears
But now I’ve got faith in myself, I’ve made a new start
I’ve learned to climb out of my mind, and follow my heart

I can dance, dance with my dreams, all thru the night
No longer afraid, cause every thing seems so right
I won’t hold back, watchin’ life run away from me
Cus now I can be, whatever I want to be
I can dance, dance, dance with my dreams 
Whooaa, oh, oh, dance with my dreams
I can dance, dance, dance with my dreams 
Whooaa, oh, oh, dance with my dreams

You shouldn’t give up your dreams, or leave them behind
They don’t have to make sense, they’re just part of the grand design
A million sparks in my head, they rush, they sing, and they swirl
And light up the way, to a brand new different world

I can dance, dance with my dreams, all thru the night
No longer afraid, cause every thing seems so right
We can ride thru the sky on a shooting star 
I can be Mozart, you can play rock guitar
We can dance, dance, dance with our dreams 
Whooaa, oh, oh, dance with our dreams
We can dance, dance, dance with our dreams 
Whooaa, oh, oh, dance with our dreams

Tonite I will dream of everything I can be
I’ll transform myself to the far side of eternity
Then I’ll jump out of bed bright and new as the sun up above
And fly thru my life, at the infinite speed of love

Poway Parent's School Watch Group With Guest Rachelle Babler

Der er sæsonstart i Bæredygtig Business, og i dag gør jeg status over rapporteringsstandarderne både i Europa og i den store verden for at forstå, hvilken indvirkning de bl.a. har haft på investorernes lyst til at investere i de grønne virksomheder. Til at hjælpe mig med det store overblik har jeg Jane Jagd på besøg. Hun er Director, Net Zero Finance i We Mean Business Coalition, som skal få erhvervslivet og politiske aktører til at gå sammen om at drive klimahandling.

Vi gør status over rapporteringsstandarderne, kigger på den Europæiske CSRD og den internationale ISSB, og ser på, hvordan markedet vil udvikle sig i forhold til ESG-rapportering, herunder den lidet elskede taksonomi, som Jane Jagd faktisk mener er fantastisk. Endelig taler vi om emnet ”Anti-ESG og hvordan danske virksomheder skal navigere rundt i de Anti-ESG-vinde, der blæser i øjeblikket.  

Du kan høre om:
• ESG rapportering i Europa og i Verden – indvirkning og konsekvenser
• CSRD og ISSB – forskelle og fællesnævnere
• Sektorstandarder og globale standarder
• Hvordan data bliver bedre og bedre og hvad det kommer til at betyde for virksomhederne og deres ESG-rapportering
• Hvordan investorer og banker fremover vil have øget fokus på de grønne virksomheder – eller dem der er på vej til at blive grønne(re)
• Hvorfor man ikke skal være for hurtig til at fordømme de virksomheder, der ligger under for ”Anti-ESG”

Global ESG og Anti-ESG med Jane Jagd

This week, I sit down with Annie Littrell, Penn Foster's Diversity Officer, to talk about DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). She shares insights on DEI in education, accessibility, and leveling the playing field. So, how can we work towards making sure everyone feels included and valued at school and work? Let's get into it!

Civil rights protections were meant to expand justice, not retract it. But today, we see the disturbing rise of policies and narratives that weaponize civil rights language to suppress equity, restrict access, and entrench privilege.

This audio version of our latest Sharon Washington Consulting article explores:

How anti-DEI laws manipulate civil rights rhetoric

The impact on housing, healthcare, education, and employment

The disproportionate harm on BIPOC, LGBTQ+, rural, and immigrant communities

Why King, Marshall, and Chisholm’s visions remain essential guides for justice today

Historically white, and male, colleges and universities in the U.S. began to diversify their undergraduate bodies in the 1960s and have made considerable progress since then.  But progress on faculty diversity has stalled.  That has wide-ranging implications for everything from university completion rates for students of color to the presence of new voices in medical research.  Universities deserve much of the blame, for they implemented programs to diversify the faculty that their own social scientists had long known to be ineffective in the business world.  An analysis of the efficacy of diversity programs at 600 schools over 20 years sheds light on how universities can build faculties that look more like their students, and the wider society, in terms of gender, race, and ethnicity.

Frank Dobbin is Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard & visiting fellow at Sciences Po, CEE. 
He holds a B.A. from Oberlin College and a Ph.D. from Stanford University.  His Inventing Equal Opportunity (Princeton U. Press 2009) shows how HR managers and activists defined what it meant to discriminate in the eyes of the law, broadening the definition over time. His Getting to Diversity: What Works and What Doesn't with Alexandra Kalev (Harvard U. Press [Belknap] 2022) looks at the effectiveness of dozens of different diversity programs, in over 800 companies across more than 30 years, to answer the questions: Which programs help, which hurt, and how can harmful programs be improved?  Dobbin and Kalev are now investigating university programs designed to promote faculty diversity, using similar methods to sort out which are most effective.  Dobbin has held fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, the Radcliffe Institute, the Safra Center for Ethics, and the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study.

Seminar at Sciences Po on June 19, 2025. 
Chaired by Bruno Cousin (Sciences Po, CEE) and discussed by Christine Musselin (Sciences Po, CSO) and Angela Greulich (Sciences Po, CRIS)
