M. Yvonne Taylor and Dr. Joshua Childs, both of The University of Texas at Austin, are two scholars who believe in the power of op-eds, especially as they draw attention to systemic inequity and the movement of U.S. society toward liberty and justice for all. In this interview, they articulated how op-eds can deliver timely, expert opinions on hot button issues, such as the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, the racial uprisings across United States society, and a plethora of other issues important to the general public.
