Episode Title: Eliminating Bias and Discrimination 

Guest: Dr. Dolly Chugh

 

Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives.

 

Show Summary: In this episode, Dolly Chugh, an award-winning tenured professor at the New York University Stern School of Business & the author of the book The Person You Mean to Be, shares why she decided to write a book & the challenging process behind it. As a big book fan, it has always been her dream to be an author.

 

She also explains why being a good-ish person helps not only herself but also the people around her. It protects other people by preventing her behavior from affecting them negatively which is discussed in her book. Being perfect is impossible but owning your mistakes makes you a better person. 

 

She explains how psychological processes are relevant to the biases of gender, race, sexual orientation & gender identity. Her TED talk showed relevance to people from different parts of the world as she discussed this. She received various comments & emails expressing their empathy, which surprised her.

 

Description: Nobody is perfect. Perfection in your ethical character is a myth but you can always improve. Owning your mistakes is difficult but it helps you be a better person than you were yesterday.

 

Always be kind. You never know what the person in front of you is going through. Be the bigger person and do the right thing.

3 Value Bombs:

 

 

  • Shift your attention from always trying to protect yourself and think about what you can do to protect others by getting better.

 

  • I'm setting a high standard for myself that I'm going to always try to do better and learn from my mistakes.
  • I think that with organizations right now, it's like the house is on fire, but we're just trying to put the fire out and figure out where the fire started and why it keeps burning.

Show Highlights: 

 

Can you tell us a bit about the journey from the idea phase to the actual published book. What was that like?

  • Yeah, well, you know, I think I'm just a big book fan like fangirl authors and books ever since I was a little girl. So it's always been a dream to contribute to the world of books in some way. But as researchers, as you know, we publish in peer reviewed journals, and we do work that other scholars can consume and build on and create sort of additional knowledge based on what the work we do is incremental

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
