      Liberation Now Ep 19: Textbooks as Tools for Liberation: Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the United States
      Jan 12 2026
      Episode Description In this episode of Liberation Now, Salman Safir and Helen Neville sit down with Dr. José Causadias to discuss his recent open access textbook, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the United States. Drawing from his experiences as a Panamanian immigrant and scholar, Dr. Causadias describes the book as a "love letter" to the United States. In this powerful text he critically unpacks the myth of the American Dream, centers the lived experiences and scholarship of Women of Color, and exposes how laws and policies actively produce inequity. We explore why accessibility matters, how stories and case studies can cultivate critical consciousness, and what it means to ground JEDI work in ethics, care, and humanization. This is a powerful conversation you won't want to miss if you're committed to justice, collective action, and liberation. ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. José M. Causadias (he/him) is a Panamanian developmental psychologist, activist, and author of "Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the United States" a new Open Access textbook published by Cambridge University Press.
