In the 1940s, Salvador Dali was hired to design hosiery ads.

It worked out about the way you’d think.

Thinking on this today from @slomuto: "If we want to be anti-racist, we need to start thinking more radically about how we can reformulate our field in our teaching, graduate training, and public outreach." Read the piece and then hear more at #Raceb4Race https://t.co/TgdaMOrD2C
