Anthony Peterson has studied, taught and written about cultural and racial realities for more than 30 years.

Since 2004, he has designed and facilitated diversity workshops in corporate, academic and community settings.

Anthony’s diversity discussions took a personal turn in 2014 when he began documenting conversations with his white grandchildren regarding race. He hopes that those conversations serve as an invitation for others to tell their own racial stories.

With degrees in psychology and religious education, Anthony formerly served as an Adjunct Instructor in Ethics, Cultural Worldviews, and Biblical Studies at Trevecca Nazarene University. He also has extensive experience in the realm of editing and publishing, and is a contributor to the blog Rhetoric, Race and Religion.

Anthony is an Army brat who calls Hawaii home, but he continues work as an educator, writer, and editor in Nashville, Tennessee, where he lives with his wife of 25 years, Laura. They have four grown children and eleven grandchildren.
