In this episode, Marina, Halley, and guest scholar Annie Jones (Free the Mind, Free the People’s co-writer and senior researcher) discuss why Chapter 2 was named “Redirect Your Outrage.” They also take a deeper look at the sociological imagination, intersectionality, and Patricia Hill Collins’s “matrix of domination” to prepare you for the next three episodes: a mini-series on the Christian Right, the National Rifle Association (NRA), and the Koch brothers as key organizations behind some of the most debated social problems today.
