In co-sponsorship with Claremont Graduate University (CGU), Brookings Mountain West is pleased to present In Conversation featuring Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Camille Busette. With the presidential election behind us, the next administration must tackle the difficult conversations that, over the past several months, have led to this moment––the social upheaval, accusations of systemic racism, and the dire need for greater inclusion of under-represented groups. How do we repair the rift in our country? How do we build “a more perfect union?” Acclaimed Brookings Institution diversity, equity, and inclusion authority Camille Busette is uniquely qualified to offer her thoughts.
