<p>On today’s F.A.CT.S. podcast, host Kevin sits with Dr. Kirk “Jae” James who is a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU Silver. Jae was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, during a period of political and social unrest. He would ultimately migrate to the United States at ten years old with his mother in search of a better life. In 2013, Jae completed a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice titled “The Invisible Epidemic: Educating Social Work Students towards Holistic Practice in a Period of Mass Incarceration.” As a professor at NYU, he utilizes his firsthand knowledge and research to educate, train, and work with governments, community-based organizations, social workers, and advocates with social justice agendas throughout America, the Caribbean, and Africa. Jae believes education is our greatest tool for liberation and social justice.</p>
