Podcasts about ethnicity

From Miriam to Priscilla, the story of Scripture calls women into leadership and encourages them to endure as “oaks of righteousness” alongside men. The uniqueness of a woman's position in the world carries with it a different weight than our brothers have. In this workshop, we'll see what God has to say to his daughters and to his sons who work alongside them. Becca Heck is a veteran youth minister who has served in Atlanta, GA for the last 15 years.

I'm from Los Angeles. So when I picked up Dr. Terrell Winder's Shameless: The Making of Black Gay Identities in LA, it read like a love letter to a home I'm watching change—and a map of how young Black gay men build family, selfhood, and joy inside all that change anyway.This week, Dr. Winder—sociologist and urban ethnographer at UC Santa Barbara—pulls up to the classroom to teach us unspoiling: his framework for refusing shame and rejecting the burden of stigma outright, no matter what it costs. We get into the affirming spaces that keep our babies alive and why they're under attack right now; why intersectionality can't keep being told to wait its turn; and what Noah's Arc's first-ever Emmy nomination means in a season when Black and Black gay stories are being pulled off shelves.Because when you take these spaces away, Dr. Winder is clear about what we lose: lives.Go get the book, sit with it, and then go build a room where somebody can put their burden down.About the guestDr. Terrell J. A. Winder is Associate Professor of Sociology at UC Santa Barbara. A Baltimore native, he earned his B.A. in Comparative Ethnic Studies from Columbia and his Ph.D. in Sociology from UCLA (2017). His research spans race and ethnicity, sexuality and sexual health, qualitative methods, and education.Key ideas & theoryUnspoiling — Dr. Winder's framework: a stigma response that centers the stigmatized person rather than the comfort of the stigmatizer; refusing shame instead of managing it.Spoiled identity / stigma — Erving Goffman's foundational concept, and the classic responses of passing and covering that Dr. Winder argues break down for people carrying more than one stigma at once.Intersectional stigma & "intersectional recovery" — holding race, sexuality, and gender together rather than deferring one for later; recovering the full selves of figures history flattened."Visibility is survival" — his argument that ethnography documents threatened histories and everyday Black LGBTQ life.People mentionedErving Goffman — sociologist, Stigma and the "spoiled identity."Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter — sociologist and chair of African American Studies at UCLA; credited with first posting the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter (August 2012); the BLM movement/network was later co-founded by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi. Co-author with Dr. Winder of "Space, Place, and Urban Future."Bayard Rustin — Black gay civil rights strategist, chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington.George Washington Carver — scientist cited as an example of a flattened, partially-told legacy.Patrik-Ian Polk — creator of Noah's Arc.Organizations & spacesBetter Brothers Los Angeles / The Truth Awards. Native Son.Hilltop Coffee + Kitchen (Issa Rae's LA spot) and Bricks & Scones (Larchmont). Media & cultureNoah's ARC — Patrik-Ian Polk's groundbreaking series, the first scripted show centering Black gay men; Noah's ARC: The Movie (the 20th-anniversary reunion) earned a 2026 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Choreography, the franchise's first-ever Television Academy recognition.Pose, Insecure — referenced in conversation and This or That.My Best Friend Rodney — Rodney Chester's interview podcast.Anita Baker & Luther Vandross — the This or That showdown.Further reading — Dr. Winder's scholarshipShameless: The Making of Black Gay Identities in LA (NYU Press, 2026)."Unspoiling Identity: An Intersectional Expansion of Stigma Response Strategies" (Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, 2023)."Visibility Is Survival: The Chocolate Maps of Black Gay Life in Urban Ethnography."Marcus Anthony Hunter & Terrell J.

Imagine an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. Is "detention center" the accurate way to describe it?Political scientists and legal scholars have been asking whether we're using the right language to talk about immigration enforcement. Some argue that calling them "immigrant jails," "immigration camps," or even "concentration camps" is more accurate.But others say using the term "concentration camp" diminishes the horrors of the Holocaust — the Nazi genocide of Jewish people.The debate around the language we use to describe immigration is not new. Experts have also considered how to describe the incarceration of Japanese Americans on U.S. soil during World War II.On KPBS Midday Edition, we sit down with three experts to help us unpack this debate and help us understand the weight of our language.Guests:Tom Wong, associate professor of political science, UC San Diego; director of U.S. Immigration Policy CenterRaquel Aldana, professor of law, UC DavisBenjamin Gonzalez O'Brien, professor of political science, San Diego State University; editor of Journal of Race, Ethnicity and PoliticsKeep reading:When do ‘detention centers' become ‘concentration camps'?

Part 2 of a conversation with Youtube personailty Quang Nguyen of Quang PhilosophyJungian Psychology and AI Psychosis: Caesar discusses his personal discovery of Carl Jung's work following a meditative experience, noting how Jungian themes appear throughout pop culture. The hosts debate how AI platforms like ChatGPT have become more cautious and condescending—directing users to therapists rather than exploring spiritual or psychological concepts—to avoid legal liability associated with "AI psychosis".The Debate Over IQ, Genetics, and Environment: The speakers dive into a complex discussion on human intelligence, referencing "The Bell Curve". Quang argues that environmental factors and "memetics" (the transmission of ideas and cultural knowledge) have a much more significant impact on IQ than genetics, while Caesar shares evolutionary theories regarding northern versus southern climates.Wealth Inequality and the American Empire: Quang frames economic inequality as a simple math problem where the wealth of the rich grows faster than the overall economy. This leads to a discussion on whether younger generations still believe in the long-term growth of the U.S. stock market, especially given the perceived decline of the American Empire.Retail Investing, Geopolitics, and Elite Market Dynamics: The hosts talk about the challenges of retail investing, referencing geopolitical events like the Iran war and the 2025 tariffs that caused market dips. They question whether financial elites intentionally keep the best investment avenues (like private equity) away from average retail investors, noting Warren Buffett's recent moves to hold cash.

Did the Aztecs have a concept of virtue? In this episode, we dive into a lively scholarly debate over the Nawatl phrase kwalli and yektli ("good" and "right") and whether it can properly be translated as "virtue." Examining colonial dictionaries, the Florentine Codex, the Wewetlahtolli, and the work of scholars from the sixteenth century to today, we explore the evidence for a distinctly Nawa ethical tradition. Along the way, we discuss the challenges of translating Indigenous philosophies and why understanding concepts, not just individual words, is essential to appreciating Nawatl thought.Sources:Anderson, Arthur J.

In this episode, Dr. Chuang discusses some of her research, which has focused on racial disparities in health care delivery. She shares her journey to this topic starting with her childhood experiences as a witness to structural racism and implicit bias. She discusses how bias and structural inequities are reproduced in many ways, all affecting health and healthcare outcomes. Her work includes several focuses including interpersonal bias in healthcare communication with patients with serious illness and their families, bias in public health practices and bias in Artificial Intelligence. The discussion concludes with the ways that biomedical research has contributed to bias in healthcare over time. The discussion also includes some ways that researchers can move forward even in a challenging funding environment.Chuang E, Hope AA, Allyn K, Szalkiewicz E, Gary B, Gong MN.

As our nation nears its 250th anniversary, we reflect on what was going on in the Bay Area at the time. In 1776 California was newly part of the Spanish colony that would later become Mexico. The summer of 1776 was also pivotal in San Francisco's history: construction started on the Presidio and Mission Dolores was founded five days before the Declaration of Independence was signed. Most of the local population consisted of indigenous people and some Mexican settlers. The people, ecosystems and coastline were dramatically different. We look back on the Bay Area in 1776.

We are diving into another insightful Summer Forecast episode with Dr. Dennis R. Edwards. In our conversation, Dr. Edwards shares insights from his life in pastoral ministry and biblical studies, particularly as we navigate race and ethnicity. Dennis argues that understanding social location is so important as we assess our own culturally-influenced interpretation of biblical texts and theology. While the Bible acknowledges human diversity, he contends that it does not support racial superiority. Drawing on Philippians 2, Dr. Edwards repeatedly calls us back to humility, love, and reconciliation, which transcends racial and ethnic lines, and invites the powerful to relinquish their position so others may be elevated. To learn more from him, consider joining us at Regent this summer for A Biblical Theology of Race and Ethnicity (July 13-17).Dennis's BioRev. Dr. Dennis R. Edwards recently ended his term as the Dean and Vice President of Church Relations at North Park Theological Seminary, where he continues to teach and research the New Testament. He's the author of several books, including Humility Illuminated and Might from the Margins. Dennis has three decades of urban pastoral ministry experience from Brooklyn, New York; Washington, DC; and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dennis holds a BS in chemical engineering and was a high school science and math teacher. He also earned an MDiv in Urban Ministry and an MA and PhD in Biblical Studies. Dennis will be back at Regent this summer, teaching A Biblical Theology of Race & Ethnicity from July 13-17.Previous Podcast AppearancesMight from the Margins (May 2022)Regent College PodcastThanks for listening.

In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, host Ber‑Henda Williams sits down with Dr. Caira Boggs, Director of the Michigan Public Health Institute's Center for Health Innovation and Practice and Detroit Health Initiatives. A proud Detroit native and Detroit Public Schools graduate, Dr. Boggs leads 16 initiatives focused on health equity, recovery, food access, chronic disease prevention, and community‑led grantmaking — all grounded in the lived experiences of Detroit neighborhoods. Dr. Boggs shares the early moments that shaped her understanding of inequity, from growing up in a deeply connected Detroit community to witnessing stark disparities when she left home for college. Her path from kinesiology and pre‑med to public health leadership was fueled by a desire to advocate for people who look like her — especially after learning how maternal and infant health outcomes disproportionately impact Black women, regardless of income or education. Together, Ber‑Henda and Dr. Boggs explore:  What resilience looks like in Detroit neighborhoods, where communities “keep going, keep moving, no matter what,” despite redlining, food insecurity, and structural barriers. How Detroit schools and neighborhood roots shaped Dr. Caira's public health lens. Worker health realities in Detroit's plants — from blood pressure to chronic disease risks. What recovery‑friendly workplaces need: Narcan access, dignity, and long‑term support. Food insecurity as both structural and neighbor‑to‑neighbor — and how small acts help.  Neighborhood‑driven solutions like micro‑grants, walking clubs, and anchor organizations. How COVID‑19 exposed inequities and elevated social determinants of health. Dr. Boggs also reflects on the personal experiences that continue to motivate her — from loved ones whose health outcomes could have been different with better access, to the collective trauma and awakening brought on by the pandemic. Her message is clear: every person has the power to change someone's trajectory, whether through advocacy, compassion, or simply knowing the people on your block. This episode is essential listening for anyone working in community health, public health, philanthropy, health equity, or systems‑level change — and for anyone who believes in the strength and brilliance of Detroit's neighborhoods.

In this message from John 4, Pastor Leonard Davis challenges us to move beyond colorblindness and toward ethnicity awareness. Through Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman, we see how He acknowledges differences, addresses brokenness, and brings healing that leads to reconciliation. As followers of Jesus, we're invited to allow Christ to redeem our stories and use them as bridges for unity, witness, and mission. Be sure to download this week's Sermon Reflection Guide to help you process the message and take your next step in obedience. Beyond Colorblind Sermon Reflection Guide

Find this episode on YouTube: Is American Orthodoxy even possible? John Heers sits down with Ben Michael (Orthodox Luigi) to talk about race, ethnicity, what it means to be an American — and whether there's a future for Orthodox Christianity in a nation built on rootlessness.This conversation goes where most won't — deep into the tension between ethnic identity and faith, the rise of nationalism, and the hard question: can America — a country of immigrants with no single ethnic root — ever truly become an Orthodox nation? John and Ben pull from history, theology, and their own experiences to explore what American Orthodoxy might actually require.

In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, host Michael Randall talks with Danielle Lewinski, Chief Program Officer at the Center for Community Progress, about how vacant properties, neighborhood conditions, and public policy directly shape health outcomes. Danielle breaks down why the U.S. has millions of vacant and substandard homes and how these conditions fuel chronic disease, mobility challenges, safety concerns, and long‑term disinvestment. She explains how public policy, code enforcement, tax foreclosure systems, and land banks can either reinforce inequity or create pathways to healthier, thriving communities. You'll learn about: How vacant properties harm health Why policy change is essential for neighborhood recovery How vacancy affects mobility and safety Green reuse strategies that improve community wellbeing The most damaging myths about vacancy Upstream vs. reactive systems in property revitalization Perfect for viewers interested in health equity, urban policy, community development, mobility justice, and place‑based public health.

Historian David Yaghoubian joins Rev Left Radio to discuss the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, the genocide in Gaza, the assault on Lebanon, and the broader imperial-Zionist project to dominate West Asia. Drawing from his 2014 monograph Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran, Yaghoubian explains why Washington and Tel Aviv have repeatedly misunderstood Iranian society, underestimated Iranian national cohesion, and fantasized that sanctions, bombing, covert operations, or minority pressure could fracture the country from within. Together, Breht and David explore Iran's history of resisting foreign domination, the reactionary nature of the Iranian diaspora in the United States, the ethno-religious complexity of Iranian society, Iranian national cohesion, the strategic significance of the Strait of Hormuz, the relationship between Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, and the ideological inversion through which the U.S. and Israel present themselves as defenders of "stability" while unleashing coups, sanctions, assassinations, occupations, and genocide across the region. They also discuss how anti-imperialists should defend Iran against U.S.-Zionist aggression without flattening Iranian society or denying its internal contradictions. This is a conversation about nationalism, sovereignty, resistance, and the failure of empire to understand the peoples it seeks to dominate. Dr. David N. Yaghoubian is Professor of Modern West Asian and Islamic History at California State University-San Bernardino and author of "Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran" (Syracuse, 2014) and co-editor of "Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East" (3rd edition forthcoming). ----------------------------------------- Check out a great new resource for revolutionary education, Unlearning Capitalism: https://unlearn.capital/ Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio   Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

Title: Wrong Uniform, Right FaithScripture Reading: Matthew 8:5-13Series: Be Bold!What truly defines a bold faith: outward appearances and accomplishments, or something far deeper? This message concludes our "Be Bold!" series by exploring what it means to salute the highest authority. We learn that bold faith is not about the uniform you wear, as seen in the Roman Centurion's faith, which transcended his Gentile identity. Furthermore, bold faith is not about the medals you've earned; the Centurion's charitable works were not the basis for his miracle, reminding us that human merit and transactional appeals to God are futile. Ultimately, bold faith is about the commander you salute, exemplified by the Centurion's profound humility regarding himself and unwavering confidence in Jesus's authority to heal remotely. Our boldest faith is found not in our outward identity or personal achievements, but in our humble and confident surrender to the supreme authority of Jesus Christ.

In this episode of the Straight White American Jesus Sunday Interview, host Leah Payne speaks with Jonathan Calvillo, sociologist of religion at Candler School of Theology at Emory University and author of The Saints of Santa Ana, about growing tensions within Latino evangelical and Pentecostal communities over immigration, political representation, and the public platforming of prominent evangelical leader Samuel Rodriguez. The conversation centers on the recent “We Are Not a Monolith” statement issued by Latino pastors, scholars, and ministry leaders calling for greater nuance and accountability in how Latino Christians are represented in national media. Calvillo explains why many faith leaders believe Rodriguez has come to function less as an advocate for vulnerable immigrant communities and more as a defender of Trump-era immigration policies and conservative political networks. Together, Payne and Calvillo explore how ICE raids and immigration enforcement are reshaping Latino churches across the United States, including the emergence of new theological language around persecution, sanctuary, solidarity, and resistance. They discuss the complex political diversity within Latino evangelicalism, the influence of white evangelical megachurch networks on Latino Pentecostal leaders, and the growing tensions between immigrant-majority congregations and prominent conservative evangelical institutions. The episode also examines how Latino evangelical and Pentecostal churches are responding to fear, surveillance, and political polarization in this moment, including new collaborations between immigrant churches, ecumenical groups, and unexpected community allies. Throughout the conversation, Calvillo situates current debates within a longer history of migration, marginalization, religious activism, and public theology in the United States.

In this rewind episode, we explore the concept of weathering — the cumulative, biological toll that chronic stress from living in an unjust society can have on people from marginalized communities. This framework helps explain why health disparities persist, and why they often deepen over time. Our guest is Dr. Arline Geronimus, a member of the National Academy of Medicine and a professor at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health and Institute for Social Research. She is also affiliated with the Center for Research on Ethnicity, Culture and Health, and is the author of Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society. Dr. Geronimus joins us to unpack the science behind weathering, the lived realities it reflects, and what it means for public health, policy, and equity.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes historian and Admitted Racist Michael Phillips. Classified as a White Man, Phillips is “a scholar of Texas race relations, racism, and right-wing extremism, he has taught at Collin College and worked with SMU's Clements Center for Southwestern Studies.” While examining the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, Gus T. saw some of the same names of people who are discussed related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Powerful Race Soldiers had many White Supremacist reasons to see both Kennedy and Lumumba terminated. Many of these Racists live in and/or are connected to Texas. While researching, Gus T. located Phillips' White Metropolis: Race, Ethnicity, and Religion in Dallas, 1841–2001. The book examines what it means to be classified as White and the local history of the System of White Supremacy in Dallas. We'll discuss White culture - which is basically lynching black people and minstrel shows. And why the Racist Power structure of Dallas is important to understanding the Kennedy assassination and Dallas history in general. Gus T. and Mr. Phillips had a major disagreement, and Gus accused Phillips of lying in the book when he wrote: “The Jim Crow system that fully developed in Dallas after the 1920s represented a more subtle and effective form of establishment dominance. Lynching had oppressed both black men and white women.” Phillips had no evidence to support how White Women were systemically oppressed by White Men in a manner similar to black males. White Women advocated for White Women's suffrage so they could reinforce White Supremacy. White Women made sure their White children had niggra classmates - which denied black children access to quality education, and White Women are the first teachers of Racist Women and Racist Woman. Phillips admitted to Practicing White Supremacy/Racism and being informed about Racism. We also had a tiff about what constitutes White Culture. #GoneToTexas #LooneyCoons #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

What happens when a fully integrated healthcare system aligns training, data, and access to improve surgical outcomes? In this BackTable OBGYN episode, Dr. Eve Zaritsky joins hosts Dr. Mark Hoffman and Dr. Amy Park to discuss how Kaiser's integrated health system enables rapid care coordination, large-scale quality improvement, and population-level research using one of the largest US datasets. --- Get the BackTable app https://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 01:17 - Introduction 03:35 - How Kaiser Works07:24 - Research Using Big Data09:19 - Changing Hysterectomy Culture13:36 - Ending Racial Disparities15:22 - Handling Large Uteri17:52 - Vaginal Hysterectomy Trends20:38 - Myomectomy Reintervention Rates24:23 - Shared Decision Making26:30 - Mini Lap Versus Robotic27:41 - Hybrid Extraction Strategy29:08 - Credentialing Robotic Myomectomy30:19 - MIG Referral Pathways32:03 - Fibroids Across Asian Subgroups34:55 - Mentoring Research Pipeline36:44 - Funding Analysts Through GME40:49 - Endometriosis Disparities Findings43:59 - Mentorship Mindset --- More about this episode Dr. Zaritsky describes how a coordinated, system-wide effort transformed hysterectomy care, shifting from 80% open procedures to nearly 90% minimally invasive within five to eight years through focused training, reducing low-volume practice, and tracking system metrics, ultimately decreasing racial disparities once minimally invasive rates exceeded 90%. She also highlights Kaiser-based research on variation in vaginal hysterectomy by service area and surgeon volume, long-term reintervention rates for fibroids across procedures, increasing use of minimally invasive myomectomy, and a JAMA analysis showing differences in fibroid diagnosis among Asian subgroups with the highest rates in South Asians. The episode concludes with Dr. Zaritsky calling attention to how Kaiser's research infrastructure creates robust opportunities for meaningful mentorship across all levels of training, supporting the development of physicians, residents, and medical students. --- Resources Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy and Power Morcellation Trends in a West Coast Integrated Health System https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28486359/ Racial Disparities in Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Treatment Within an Integrated Health Care Delivery System https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40839882/ Uterine Fibroid Diagnosis by Race and Ethnicity in an Integrated Health Care Systemhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40172885/

What's really happening with the Kurds—and why does it matter right now? In this episode of inContext, Michael Easley sits down with author and geopolitical expert Dr. Stephen Mansfield to unpack one of the most overlooked stories in the Middle East. The Kurdish people are one of the largest ethnic groups in the world without their own nation. They've fought alongside Western powers, helped defeat ISIS, and built a rare model of stability in northern Iraq—yet they've repeatedly been abandoned in global politics. This conversation explores the Kurds' history, their role in current conflicts involving Iran, Iraq, and Syria, and why their future remains uncertain. If you've ever felt confused by Middle East headlines, this episode brings clarity to the people, the politics, and the deeper human story behind it all.

In this episode, I dive deep into one of my favorite topics—bio-individuality—and why your genes may hold the missing key to your health struggles. Kashif Khan joins me to unpack how his own health crisis at 38, marked by eczema, psoriasis, gut issues, depression, and debilitating migraines, sent him down a rabbit hole that ultimately led to genetics. What he discovered completely reframed the way he thought about wellness.We explore how two people can eat the same food, live the same lifestyle, and experience radically different outcomes—and why that discrepancy often comes down to gene expression. Kashif breaks down dopamine pathways, addiction tendencies, trauma imprinting, and how certain genetic profiles can be both a superpower and a liability depending on context. If you've ever wondered why you're wired the way you are or why certain habits feel nearly impossible to break, this conversation will hit home.We also get into estrogen metabolism, detox pathways, hormone replacement therapy, environmental toxins, and the shocking role negative emotions play in turning disease-related genes on. One of the biggest takeaways for me was how ancestral habits, geography, and even generational trauma can influence which genes are expressed.This episode is a powerful reminder that health isn't about chasing trends—it's about understanding your unique blueprint. If you're tired of guessing and ready to personalize your approach to fitness, supplements, hormones, and longevity, this one is going to open your eyes in a big way.Join the free DNA Five Pillar Program webinar and live Q&A with Kashif and me on March 4 at 7:30 pm Eastern Time/6:30 pm Central Time.
