Today's episode is about Loretta Ross and her courageous and brilliant work that invites us to "call in" instead of "call out." Ross is an activist, public intellectual and professor of women’s studies at Smith College.

I find her invitation to be both challenging and helpful, a summons to improve the connection and understanding in our corner of the world. I learned about Ross from an article written three years ago, and it's stayed with me ever since. She also has a website (with a four-week online course) and moving TED talk.
