Episode Description

Lewis Raven Wallace joins host Alex Lovit to discuss the conditions that make it possible for people to change their minds.

Children gradually learn about the world: what to expect from themselves and from others, who is or isn’t part of their social group, and what society looks like. But for adults, learning new ideas requires unlearning old ones first. Wallace has advice for anyone who wants to shift their own perspectives or encourage others to do the same.

Lewis Raven Wallace is a journalist. He is the abolition journalism fellow with Interrupting Criminalization. He has written multiple books, including his most recent, Radical Unlearning: The Art and Science of Creating Change from Within.
