A Tulane graduate living in Nashville, Tim Wise is an expert on racial relations,
especially white privilege, promoting the need for empathy and ethics in racial
relations, while emphasizing diversity. His presentation will examine the way in
which white racial privilege shapes the nation’s education system and the larger
