An essential tool for individuals, organizations, and communities of all sizes to jump-start dialogue on racism and bias and to transform well-intentioned statements on diversity into concrete actions—from a leading Harvard social psychologist. A NEW FEMALE CO-AUTHOR! We are delighted to announce that beginning in the Fall of 2020, Dr. Amanda Goodwin, an Associate Professor of Communications Arts at Penn State, known as the nation's #1 school for teaching social skills, will become the lead co-author of an updated "Conversationally Speaking." Rated by her students as "amazing," she will bring a greater female dimension to the book. Social justice is a long game, and it has to start with awareness of the problem.

The Conversation manages to be both intellectually compelling and substantive while also being infused with warmth and humor, just like Robert. I highly recommend it.” Sex.
