Happy New Year Everyone! What better way to start a new year than with the one and only Dr. Rupert Nacoste, a distinguished faculty member here at NC State. Dr. Nacoste is a social psychologist in the psychology department at NC State and has been here with us for almost 35 years. In this episode, you will hear about his experiences growing up in the deep south. You will also learn about some of his experiences in the US Navy and how his upbringing prepared him for the racial tension he endured on the Navy ship. Finally, Josh and Dr. Nacoste dive into his experiences teaching at NC State. They talk about the importance of Black faculty members on PWI campuses, his passion for exploring the experiences of his students, and how he feels about being seen as an encouragement to many who have taken his courses.
