Eric Abrams Joins KQED as the New Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer

KQED is honored to welcome Eric Abrams as Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer. In this new role at KQED, Abrams will plan and lead an organization-wide strategy to operationalize and embed principles of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). He brings expertise from his experience leading DEI initiatives in higher education, where topics such as multiculturalism, intersectionality and unconscious bias first came to prominence. He has spent most of the last two decades in DEI leadership roles at both Stanford University and UC Berkeley.

“Eric will help us achieve our vision of a culture that centers on human dignity, equity and belonging,” says President and CEO Michael Isip. “To truly serve all of the Bay Area’s diverse communities, KQED staff and content must reflect and fully represent our diverse communities and their experiences. This role helps ensure our accountability to make DEI central to how we serve and operate.”

Previously, Abrams worked at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, where he served as Chief Inclusion Officer, and before that served as the Director of Diversity Initiatives at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. He is a regular speaker at conferences and has been a guest on KQED’s Forum and KQED Newsroom, where he discussed the diversity gap at tech companies. Abrams served as a board member at the Making Waves Academy, a charter school in Richmond, California; at 826 Valencia, a nonprofit dedicated to creative and expository writing skills for underresourced students, in San Francisco; and as the former president of the board of 826 National, the organization’s national network of writing and tutoring centers.

On February 10, Abrams appeared on KQED Newroom, a weekly news magazine program that views news through a Bay Area lens. As host Priya David Clemens noted, there’s been a wave of diversity efforts across higher education institutions and corporate America. Many of these fall under the banner of DEI. Abrams joined her to discuss what DEI means, why it matters and his views on the best ways to move forward. You can watch the interview at kqed.org/newsroom.

Climate Lessons from Florida for a

Storm-Battered California

Californians received a stark reminder this winter of the need to prepare for a changing climate. The state’s much-needed rain came in a series of brutal, and deadly, atmospheric rivers. Heavy rains led to floods; winds toppled trees and damaged property; high tides destroyed piers. If this is our new climate reality, what will it take to adapt? That’s the subject of this month’s radio special from American Public Media, How We Survive: The Rising Sea. Host Amy Scott heads to Miami, another vulnerable coastal city, to dig into the “messiness” of potential solutions, from the high price tags for resilient development, to questions of whether we should even bother with those developments — or simply move elsewhere.

Climate lessons from Florida for a storm-battered California, How We Survive: The Rising Sea plays on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM on Wednesday, March 1, at 10pm with an overnight repeat on Thursday at 1am, or stream it on the KQED App.

Sanditon on MASTERPIECE

This month brings us one last season of Sanditon on MASTERPIECE. The adaptation of Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel was originally intended to last only one season, but viewers wanted more. Fans of Austen's romances; outspoken, independent female characters; beautiful landscapes and period costumes will find that all here. Will the austere and distant Mr. Colbourne mellow? Will Tom’s vision for Sanditon be realized? Will Charlotte and Georgiana find true love, or will they choose unmarried independence? Find out on Sunday, March 19, at 9pm when Season 3 premieres on KQED 9 and is available to stream on Passport. Until then, catch Seasons 1 and 2. I just finished watching them and can’t wait until March 19! —Karen Marek, Director, Gift Planning and Endowment

The Movement and the “Madman”: How Two Protests, on Two Coasts, Changed History

In November 1969, two antiwar protests one in Washington, D.C., and another in San Francisco — were the largest ever in America. They, along with a national moratorium, caused President Nixon to cancel what he called his secret “madman” plans for a massive escalation of the U.S. war in Vietnam, including his threats to use nuclear weapons. At the time, protestors had no idea what they prevented and the lives they saved.

American Experience: The Movement and the "Madman," which airs on March 28, at 9pm on KQED 9, presents insider accounts from movement leaders and Nixon officials and commentary by historians and dynamic archival footage. It’s an

inspiring untold story that offers hope in a time when autocracy threatens democracy, war rages in Ukraine and we are facing a climate catastrophe.

The story has a local angle, too. While researching, local filmmaker Stephen Talbot discovered that the San Francisco event was the largest demonstration ever held in the western U.S.; an estimated 250,000 people attended. KQED was there, too, covering the San Francisco event live in its entirety.

A teenager in 1969, I was tear gassed at the D.C. protest. It was a painful entry into politics but is now a proud moment knowing, from the film, what the march meant in U.S. history. —Ellyn

Hament

Great Performances: Remember This

Monday, March 13, at 9pm on KQED 9

In this one-man show, Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn stars as Jan Karski, a reluctant World War ll hero and Holocaust witness, in a story of moral courage and individual responsibility. After surviving the devastation of the Blitzkrieg, Karski swears allegiance to the Polish Underground and risks his life to carry the first eyewitness reports of war-torn Poland to the Western world and ultimately, the Oval Office.

DID YOU KNOW? SANDITON: Unfinished Novels

• When Mary Wollstonecraft, mother of Mary Shelley (Frankenstein) died, she left an unfinished novel: Maria, or The Wrongs of Woman, about a woman sent to an asylum by her abusive husband. It’s often viewed as a sequel to the Vindication of the Rights of Woman, a 1792 classic of feminist political theory.

• Raymond Chandler, perhaps best known for creating detective Phillip Marlowe, died before his eighth novel was finished. To mark his 100th birthday, contemporary crime writer Robert B. Parker finished Chandler’s Poodle Springs with the Chandler estate’s blessing.
