Contrarian X PERIL: Marylin Rodriguez on preventing extremism in universities

The BRICK (Building Resilient and Inclusive Communities of Knowledge) toolkit is a guide for the higher education community “meant to help you understand and establish strategies to prevent hateful, discriminatory, and marginalizing attitudes in your community”.

Marylin Rodriguez joins Jen to discuss the goals of the BRICK toolkit, how universities can best support students heading down a path of extremism, and how to cultivate supportive communities that discourage hate.
