This is the underlying question for us at Transcend and for most educators working in the field. While admittedly inadequate, this playlist aims to be a starting point for the conversations we think are important to be had – to make visible the often invisible ways that inequality is perpetuated by individuals and our schools and a starting point in designing for equity.
