Covid-19 Fueling Racism and Xenophobia.
Asian American doctors and nurses are facing racist attacks, and Mexican construction workers are being harassed as they help battle the Covid-19 pandemic. How widespread is this prejudice? Who is feeding the flames of bigotry? What’s being done to prevent xenophobic discrimination?
Guest: John McKiernan-González, Director, Center for the Study of the Southwest, Associate Professor of History, Texas State University Austin, Austin, TX.
Coping with Covid-19 Quarantine. The Covid-19 pandemic has heightened fear, anxiety, and depression.

This is a Holiday, pre-taped edition.
