Dr. Malcolm Frierson, Loyola Marymount University
Have you ever thought about how humor can play a role in our work in diversity, equity, and inclusion? Award-winning author and college professor Dr. Malcolm Frierson shares how his research on African American history led him to explore stand-up comedy and discusses:
- Researching humor as a platform for the civil rights movement and the African American experience
- How companies can improve their DE&I practices and make impactful contributions
- The influence of comedy greats Dick Gregory, Richard Pryor, and Margaret Cho
For an example of the type of humor Dr. Frierson references, check out this hilarious clip of Dick Gregory.
