Podcast: ParentData with Emily Oster
Published On: Mon Jun 12 2023
Description: Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman is a PhD student at Harvard in economics and public policy. Last year, she edited The Black Agenda: Bold Solutions for a Broken System, which features Black scholars and experts across economics, education, health, climate, criminal justice, and technology. This week, the book is out in paperback. In honor of this, she and I connected to chat about two of the chapters — on education for Black girls and representation in children’s books. ParentData relaunched in September 2023. Please enjoy this episode of the earlier version of the podcast from our archives.
