This interview will centered around Paul's keynote at WPC 14 in Seattle WA on Thursday, April 11, 2013:

"Consumerism as Racial Injustice: The MACRO-Aggressions that Make Me, and Maybe You, a Hypocrite"

When Paul started to take stock of his own behaviors and how they might contribute, even if indirectly, to racial injustice, the only conclusion he could come to was this: he is a hypocrite, especially when it comes to consumerist behaviors. In this presentation Paul will talk about consumerism as a series of MACRO-aggressions that feed racial and economic injustice in which nearly all of us, in one way or another, are complicit.

Gorski is the founder of EdChange. He also is an Associate Professor of Integrative Studies at George Mason University, where he recently co-designed a new undergraduate program and minor in Social Justice and Human Rights. He is passionate about the intersectionality of all forms of exploitation and liberation, and particularly enjoys working with schools, colleges, and universities that are committed to becoming more equitable and just. He lives in Virginia with his cats, Unity and Buster.
