Portland educator seeks to help others understand whiteness

The Portland Underground Grad School offers classes in a variety of topics from history to improv comedy. This fall, PUGS is once again offering a course called “Interrogating Whiteness: An American Unstory.” We hear from Sarah DeYoreo, the Portland writer and educator who teaches the class, about what it means to critically examine white racial identity.

If you’d like to comment on any of the topics in this show, or suggest a topic of your own, please get in touch with us on Facebook or Twitter, send an email to thinkoutloud@opb.org, or you can leave a voicemail for us at 503-293-1983. The call-in phone number during the noon hour is 888-665-5865.
