Dr. George Yancey is a Professor at the Institute for Studies of Religion and Sociology at Baylor University. He has published several research articles on the topics of institutional racial diversity, racial identity, atheists, cultural progressives, academic bias and anti-Christian hostility. His books include Beyond Racial Gridlock (Intervarsity Press) a Christian book which articulates a mutual obligations approach to racial issues, and, with Michael Emerson, Transcending Racial Barriers (Oxford University Press) an academic book that articulates a mutual obligations approach and One Faith No More: The Transformation of Christianity in Red and Blue America (New York University Press) which examines the schism between conservative and progressive Christians. His forthcoming book, Beyond Racial Division: A Unifying Alternative to Colorblindness and Antiracism (Intervarsity Press) builds on his argument that collaborative conversations are vital for dealing with racial tension. He is currently working on academic research on the effectiveness of collaborative conversations to reduce racial tensions and also investigating who tends to support antiracism.
