Summary
Professor Anthony Reddie and Revd. Dr. Al Barrett join us for a conversation about whiteness. Weaving personal experiences with theological insights, they reflect on privilege, power, empire, race and identity, and wrestle with the need for both critical deconstruction and hopeful reimagining. It’s a nuanced and inspiring conversation between two scholar activists about the pursuit of a more just world.
Interview starts at 19m 36s

| 0:07.0 | The Welcome back to Nomad Podcast. I'm Tim Nash, and this is my co-host Anna Robinson. |
| 0:41.7 | Hello. Thanks for joining me today, Anna, I know it's been a busy couple of weeks for you, hasn't it? |
| 0:46.9 | But you've managed to find a bit of time for Nomad Podcast. |
| 0:49.6 | Yes, indeed. Always. Always. Plenty of time for Nomad Podcast. |
| 0:53.3 | I mean, I could be wrong, but I suspect you quite like being busy. |
| 0:57.1 | I think I function a bit better if there's more going on. |
| 1:00.5 | Like if there's structure and things like that. |
| 1:02.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:03.6 | My life is a little bit sporadic because I sort of home educate one child, |
| 1:07.2 | which is more facilitating her going to different projects as well as doing stuff at home. |
| 1:11.3 | And then my work would live, light, dwell deep, and then nomad. And sometimes I'm busy with |
| 1:15.9 | lots of my work. Other times, Ash is really busy with all her stuff going on. And then I've |
| 1:20.7 | got another child who's got other things. I don't know. Life is just a lot of juggling. |
| 1:24.2 | And sometimes there's gaps. I've carefully constructed a life that's rarely too busy. |
| 1:29.5 | I mean, I say carefully constructed, like me and Hannah are both fairly unambitious, fairly |
| 1:33.6 | unadventurous. Big yourself up there, Tim. Yeah, well, we just like the kind of simple, |
| 1:37.9 | quiet life, really, although obviously Elliot coming along has challenged that somewhat. |
| 1:41.4 | I like being active, don't get me wrong, but I like that feeling of |
| 1:45.0 | doing a good day's work. But being busy actually makes me feel quite anxious, I find. I think I've got |
| 1:50.4 | kind of an underlying fear of not being prepared. And so when I get really busy, the anxiety I feel is |
| 1:57.1 | that I'm not going to be prepared for the things that I've got to do. Oh, yeah. |
