A series of recent events spurred me to talk about the importance of our names, and how it relates to our cultural/ethnic/racial identity. Listen to why I got rid of my 20 year old nickname of “Dr. C.” My new “what could have been” name is also revealed in the podcast. (Edit: Now I've settled with "Dr. Jack" for my students, but if someone calls me "Dr. C" I won't be mad!).
