How does one create a more equitable learning environment? Anna Spain Bradley, UCLA’s new vice chancellor for equity, diversity and inclusion, has been thinking a lot about this question. Despite the political polarization of our time, Spain Bradley – a scholar of international law, global racism and human rights – says it’s imperative that we sit down and have conversations with people we disagree with.
"If people communicate and we look at each other and see each other and value each other, it's not easy, but it's worthwhile, and it can lead to creating solutions that didn't exist before," she said.
Spain Bradley sat down with the host of UCLA Arts’ podcast “Works In Progress” for a broad ranging conversation that touched on the events in her own life that led her to the field of international dispute resolution, and how she’s applying those experiences at UCLA. She’ll also be a panelist for the final session in this year’s “10 Questions: Reckoning” discussion series, on Monday, Dec. 7 at 7 pm PST, responding to the question “What Matters?”
