Scott Woods explains how, in this time of crises, our productive criticism is necessary.

Journalist and cultural curator Scott Woods asks us to examine our perspectives on criticism and further embrace feedback. In his talk, he explains how conflict avoidance and fear are “off the menu” in this time where change is so needed, particularly to combat white supremacy. Instead, he suggests we engage “the work” in our own communities and enact change on the local level.
