We’ll delve into Dorothy E. Smith’s theory about how our place in society forms and influences our perspectives and lives. We’ll follow up by looking at the so-called ‘Red Hat’ dissonance, about why the public dialogue has become dysfunctional in recent years and what we can do about it. There are important lessons for everyone.
