America is widely seen as the greatest free country in the world, but that doesn't mean it hasn't suffered from horrible things in the past. What can we learn from the American Revolution, the Slave Trade, the Civil War, Columbus Day, and other pivotal moments in history if we scrutinize them through the lens of social psychology? J.R. Lowry sits down with author and social psychologist Dolly Chugh to look more deeply than America’s Instagrammed version and delve into its highly complicated history.

Dolly also discusses her own career journey and its various meanderings over the years that led toward her current work as a business school professor and author.
