13: When You're Facing Racial Injustice at Work (Dr. Luke Bobo)

Chris interviews Dr. Luke Bobo about his 2019 book, Race, Economics, and Apologetics: Is There a Connection?. Hear about how previous policies like redlining and restrictive covenants continue to affect the economy today, how you can respond if you’re facing racial discrimination in the workplace, and how we can offer our workplaces an “embodied apologetic.”

Luke Bobo (PhD, University of Missouri-St. Louis) is the co-owner of the consulting firm Pursuing the Greater Good, LLC. He is a visiting instructor of contemporary culture at Covenant Seminary, where he previously directed the Francis Schaeffer Institute. In an earlier career, Luke spent 15 years as an electrical engineer.
