Although I’m relieved to be finished with graduate school, I miss the commute to Seattle which gave me the opportunity to catch up on various podcasts. Of course, when I listen to a podcast, I want to read more about whatever topic may be covered whether it’s Dolly Parton, the history of slavery, Hallmark Christmas movies, or, in this case, white parents’ impact on public schools.
Nice White Parents
is the latest from Serial. Producer Chana Joffe-Walt put together this list
of books she read while researching the series. For quick reference, I’ve
also listed them below.
Turns out I also miss having access to the university
library which might carry these titles. Instead, I’ve pestered my local library
to add them to its collection. Maybe you’ll fare better at yours.
In the meantime, take a listen.
