Dr. Huang is the author of Disrupting Racism: Essays by an Asian American Prodigy Professor, a book that explores racism particularly as it relates to Asian Americans, including its causes, consequences, and theoretical frameworks that may be used to understand and overcome racism.It draws on Dr. Huang's personal experiences as a Taiwanese American and his extensive scholarly work in mathematical economics, law, and education to argue that racism is a complex problem that requires a fresh, multifaceted solution.Using mathematical economics, cognitive neuroscience, communication, psychology, and even humor strategies as a supplement to existing anti-racial legislation are some of the racism remedies Dr. Huang suggests in his book.To buy Dr. Huang's book:https://bookshop.org/p/books/disrupting-racism-essays-by-an-asian-american-prodigy-professor-peter-huang/19900457?ean=9781736873465If you like what you hear, we would like to encourage you to subscribe to our channel!We would also appreciate it if you would rate this channel by going here: RateThisPodcast.com/inclusiveafWe create this podcast as a labor of love.
