In this conversation at Kepler’s Books, Dougherty and Solis join Terri Givens—Professor of Political Science at UBC and author of Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides and Reckoning: Creating Positive Change through Radical Empathy—to talk through every stage of writing a non-fiction manuscript, from initial idea to finished book proposal.

Ibram X. Kendi is one of the world’s foremost historians of racism and a leading antiracist scholar. Eleven of his seventeen books have been New York Times bestsellers, including the international bestseller How to Be an Antiracist, which was named essential reading and one of the best books of the year by multiple publications. He makes a rare appearance in Vancouver for one night only with his latest pivotal work of nonfiction, Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age.
In this unmissable conversation with Terri Givens—Professor of Political Science at UBC and the author of Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides and Reckoning: Creating Positive Change through Radical Empathy—Kendi offers an unsettling but indispensable global history of how great replacement theory brought humanity into this authoritarian age—and how we can free ourselves from it.
