We will be discussing the plight of being black in America and the and the underlining undertone of race and inequality!

We talk with Eyal Press about his new book, Dirty Work: Essential Jobs and the Hidden Toll of Inequality in America. Then we talk with Melanie Joy about Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism. The post Eyal Press, DIRTY WORK & Melanie Joy, WHY WE LOVE DOGS, EAT PIGS, AND WEAR COWS appeared first on Writer's Voice.

Eyal Press contends there are entire areas of life we've delegated to “dirty workers”—functions we've declared necessary, but that we work to keep hidden. In his new book, Dirty Work: Essential Jobs and the Hidden Toll of Inequality in America, Press points to the transformation of jails and prisons into the country's largest mental health … Continue reading The Question of Dirty Work →

American teenager Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed two men and wounded another during protests against police brutality and riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin in August 2020, has been acquitted of all charges in court in New York.  Simon Marks reports from Washington.

Blunting The Force Of Disease Is Complicated  COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at preventing severe disease. But their efficacy in lab-controlled trials may not exactly correlate to how well they work in the real world. David Kaslow, chief scientific officer at the global public health nonprofit PATH, explains that a factor known as the “force of infection” plays a role in determining how well vaccines work. The force of infection describes the attack rate of a pathogen—the amount of time it takes a susceptible individual to get infected in a given population.  In a study recently published in the academic journal NPJ Vaccines, Kaslow and his colleagues found that in vaccine trials for rotavirus and malaria in Africa, efficacy could vary widely between two trial sites. When there were many infections in the community, the overall efficacy of the vaccines appeared lower than in communities where disease incidence was low.  While the same sort of studies haven't yet been done on the coronavirus outbreak, Kaslow argues that similar factors may be at play now—pointing to a continued need for non-pharmaceutical measures to control transmission, from masking to social distancing.       The Chemistry Of The Perfect Cookie With several major food-related holidays on the horizon, we've got a challenge for you—checking your cookie chemistry. Each batch of cookies you make has the potential to be a mini-science experiment, with the specific ingredients you use, the ratios between them, and cooking times and temperatures all variables in the mix.  Jennifer Powers, a science educator at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, discusses the role of types of sugar in transforming your cookie's texture from chewy to crispy. She encourages listeners to take on her educational resource—the Cookie Chemistry Challenge—to engineer the best batch of cookies possible.       Food Failures: Add A Dash Of Science To Your Thanksgiving Recipes This Thanksgiving, put your cooking skills to the test. Looking for tips to avoid singed sweet potatoes, acrid apple pies, and a burned bird? In this archival segment from November 18, 2016, Molly Birnbaum and Dan Souza from Cook's Science help us understand the science behind favorite Thanksgiving recipes so you can avoid food failures, and get the most out of your roast and side dishes.      America Has A Food Disparity Problem As of 2016, more than half of American children had a diet that standard nutritional recommendations would consider “poor quality.” And there are stark differences between children in wealthier and poorer households. Poor nutrition can have lifelong impacts on health, including Type 2 diabetes, heart problems, and dental cavities. But it isn't always clear what families need to provide healthier foods for their children. One popular explanation, now debunked, was the theory of food deserts: Poorer neighborhoods just don't have grocery stores, and families must buy their food from convenience stores and gas stations. But if more grocery stores aren't the solution, what is?  Sociologist Priya Fielding-Singh explores these questions in a new book, How The Other Half Eats: The Untold Story of Food and Inequality in America. Her research, the product of months of immersive time spent with families in their kitchens and as they navigated grocery stores with kids in tow, describes an alternative explanation for the socioeconomic disparity between kids' diets. Fielding-Singh explains healthy food takes emotional and energy resources that lower-income parents must often spend in other ways.  Guest host Roxanne Khamsi talks to Fielding-Singh about her research on family food choices, and the kinds of changes that might allow children from all backgrounds to enjoy healthier foods.

Christopher Emdin wants schools to be a place that embraces a whole student's identity. For far too long, public education has been stuck in a time where it was not designed for all students, especially students of color, he says. Emdin, an associate professor at Teacher's College, has long focused on issues of race, class, and diversity in education. Now, he's proposing a new educational model to help teachers and students celebrate rachet identity in the classroom. He reimagines schools where educators use authenticity as a driving factor in their work. In this episode, Emdin shares his philosophy of being rachetdemic, how educators can become rachetdemic, and why it matters.

Indeed, the moderation of left-wing party's economic policy proposals in the eighties and in the nineties and the decision to promote an unregulated capitalism with no kind of proper compensation and no tax harmonization leading to greater offshore wealth and rising inequality. All these decisions have played a role in leading the working class to take distance from these parties and, at the same time, enabling these new issues to take a growing importance.Amory GethinA full transcript is available at www.democracyparadox.com or a short review of Political Cleavages and Social Inequalities: A Study of 50 Democracies, 1948-2020 here.Amory Gethin is a PhD candidate at the Paris School of Economics and a research fellow at the world Inequality Lab.

The Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai - is worried about not meeting demand at Christmas, as its team faces the ever-growing demand for support created by Covid restrictions. The Mission's staff fear they won't be able to provide up to 9,000 boxes of food and tens of thousands of presents for families who'd otherwise go without this festive season. Samantha Gee reports.

Rural hospital doctors have detailed the lack of support they received from DHBs during the first Covid-19 outbreak, in new research by the University of Otago. The study lays bare issues of equity, and the tug-of-war between rural and larger hospitals, when deciding how to transfer infected patients. University of Otago senior lecturer and rural doctor Dr Kati Blattner spoke to Guyon Espiner. St John Ambulance contacted Morning Report with a statement after this interview aired. It said the Otago University report states St John Ambulance had stopped transporting patients with respiratory conditions - this is incorrect and has never been the case.  St John Ambulance said it has continued to transport all patients, including those with respiratory conditions, throughout all Covid-19 outbreaks in Aotearoa.

The Social Contract and Our Bodies The pandemic has given us a glimpse into the ways our health is woven into the social contract. The high number of deaths from COVID are the result of the government's failure to collaborate with international organizations and with our own state lawmakers. We leaned on essential care workers, many of whom are people of color. And yet, they often lacked PPE, challenging what it really means to be “essential.” The Inequality of Health Racism is a preexisting health condition in the United States. COVID unveiled the institutional and infrastructural inequalities that have existed in our healthcare system for decades, which we see with the alarming rates of death among Black and Latino children. These inequalities and social stereotypes affect every corner of healthcare. For example, Black adults are 2 to 6 times more likely to suffer an amputation than a white adult, especially for common conditions like diabetes. Women's Health Increasingly, aspects of women's health, such as reproduction, pregnancy, abortion, birth, and motherhood have been criminalized in the United States. Criminalization especially affects Black and brown women so that medical care has become a weapon to turn health issues like a stillbirth into a criminal offense. However, in creating these sorts of precedents, all women—regardless of race—are then subject to suffering under this weaponization of healthcare, which we see happening across the country right now.

A new report shows institutionalised government racism has been responsible for the over-representation of Māori in state care.  The independent report was commissioned from Ihi Research by the Crown Response to the Abuse in Care inquiry. The work pulls together data from several sources about Māori in state care between 1950 and 1999. RNZ Māori News Director Māni Dunlop spoke to one of the co-authors, Annabel Ahuriri-Driscoll about the report's significance.

The Ministry of Health has doubled down in not granting access to Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency data on the vaccination status of Māori - despite a high court ruling urging the Ministry to reconsider.  The agency has been seeking contact details for all unvaccinated Māori in the North Island so it can target areas with low uptake, when it embarks on a vaccination drive. In a letter to the North Island commissioning agency, Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said the ministry's view is that if they released that breadth of data it would not be effective in other areas, due to variations in Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency coverage.  Māori news director Māni Dunlop spoke to Guyon Espiner.

National Māori Pandemic group co-leader and Māori health leader Dr Rawiri Jansen says the prospect of Covid-19 restrictions easing fills him with a sense of doom. He told Morning Report Māori are the most vulnerable, and least vaccinated, population, which is hugely worrying. "I think Māori being the least vaccinated population and the most vulnerable population are literally in harm's way. we see that in terms of the Delta outbreak right now, in terms of deaths, and in terms of case numbers. That's hugely worrying for Māori communities." Dr Jansen says the Prime Minister needs to make sure Māori are protected.

Stephen Henderson talks with UCLA urban planning professor Michael Manville about how single family zoning laws shape communities and drive housing inequality.

Scott is joined by Ryan McMaken from the Mises Institute to talk about the state of the economy. McMaken describes how we are still living with the consequences of the 2008 financial crisis as well as the response to it. However, while the government created a ton of new money back then, they took steps to avoid flooding the entire economy with those new dollars. But McMaken explains that those steps have been absent during the aggressive money printing that's occurred since the pandemic began. Something that has likely played a major role in the inflating prices of goods we are seeing now. Lastly, McMaken touches on what's going on with the national labor shortage and why it's surprising him.     Discussed on the show: The Creature from Jekyll Island by G.W.

Health officials are being accused of holding out on cash to help a West Auckland Māori school boost vaccinations in their local community. With some students already covid positive, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi is remaining closed to protect tauira. Principal Hare Rua says he asked his local health coordinator six weeks ago for money to help dispense vaccinations but last week was rejected. Undeterred, the Tāmaki Makaurau based Kura has been forced to use money from its own curriculum. Te Aorewa Rolleston reports.

As to be expected, there has been a focus on flying this COP26, including on leaders taking private jets to get to the event this week. Nxt week there will be a focus on greening transportation - this comes as new research finds small cuts in air traffic would level off global heating caused by flying. But there are serious concerns the aviation industry does not have the political will countries are showing at COP26 to limit emmissions. University of Oxford researcher Milan Kloewer spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Experts say we're living through a renaissance in genetics research. The Human Genome project has explained our most fundamental genetics, CRISPR gene editing can be used to shape genetic code, and companies like 23 & Me can trace your ancestry from a single saliva swab. But all this new genetic information has people asking: How much do genetics determine our outcomes in life? We all understand that our genes determine our height, hair and eye color, but what about intelligence, educational attainment or financial success? In a new book, The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA Matters for Social Equality, behavior geneticist Kathryn Paige Harden explores these uncomfortable corners of genetics research and explains why our economic and sociopolitical systems need to take it into account.

The treatment of women in New Zealand's prisons has outraged a criminologist at Oxford University. Last year RNZ reported that as well as using regular pepper spray, Corrections use an American product called Cell Buster to hose pepper spray into cells. It's even been used on inmates who have asthma. Dr Sharon Shalev, a UK-based expert on solitary confinement who has extensively researched prisons, was asked by the Human Rights Commission to review the three women's prisons here. Dr Shalev spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Welcome to episode 122 of the Mikhaila Peterson Podcast. This is another opposing views episode where I speak with two people who have opposing views on contentious subjects. This is my favourite format of episode and one I'll be focusing on. In this episode, I spoke with Dan Gross and Dr. John R. Lott about gun control in America. We discussed their stances on gun control, assault weapons, the gun show loophole, and background check laws. I asked them whether states with stricter gun control have less gun violence. We also touched on straw purchasers, misconceptions regarding gun violence, and how politics has pervaded an already complicated debate—which is one of the reasons we need conversations like this one. In the first half, I sat down with Dan Gross. After his brother was wounded in the 1997 Empire State shooting, Gross left a bright career in marketing to become a gun control activist. He has since worked to raise awareness on gun safety, spearheading campaigns that teach gun owners to mitigate risk. Gross is the former president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and co-founded the Center for Gun Rights and Responsibility. In the second half, I spoke with gun rights advocate, economist, and political commentator John R. Lott. He has worked for Yale, the University of Chicago, and the U.S. Department of Justice under Trump. He is the founder and former president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC). John Lott has published op-eds in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and more. Remember please keep the comments civil - organizing these episodes is tricky and I really love doing them I think they're so interesting so let's keep things civil so that more people will agree to come on.

“Residential segregation not only affects opportunity, it alters politics”. That's one of the claims of my guest today, Georgetown scholar Sheryll Cashin. In this episode, we discuss Cashin's new book, titled White Space, Black Hood: Opportunity Hoarding and Segregation in the Age of Inequality. She describes her own upbringing as a daughter of civil rights activists and how this has animated her own work; how affluent white spaces are not only separate to low-poverty areas, but require them; the group of people she calls Descendants, whose ancestors were enslaved, and who live today in low-opportunity spaces; and what it means for white people to have “cultural dexterity”. We end up talking about what love has to do with pretty much all of this.    Sheryll Cashin Sheryll Cashin is a Professor of Law, Civil Rights and Social Justice at Georgetown University working on topics including race relations and inequality in the United States. She is the author of several books and numerous articles including commentary for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and is currently serving as a contributing editor to Politico. Cashin is also a board member of the Poverty and Race Research Action Council. Previously, she was a law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and worked in the Clinton administration as an advisor on urban and economic policy.    More Cashin  In this episode, we discuss Cashin's new book, titled “White Space, Black Hood: Opportunity Hoarding and Segregation in the Age of Inequality”  Cashin is a contributing editor of Politico Magazine, and she recently wrote a piece on this same topic, titled “It's Time to Dismantle America's Residential Caste System” She is also the author of Loving, Place Not Race, The Failures of Integration, and The Agitator's Daughter.  You can follow more of Cashin's work on her website or on her twitter, @SheryllCashin   Also mentioned Cashin referenced Richard Rothstein's book, “The Color of Law”  We discussed the work of Raj Chetty that looks at the socioeconomic composition of neighborhoods.

Sam and Emma host New Yorker contributor Eyal Press to discuss his recent book Dirty Work: Essential Jobs and the Hidden Toll of Inequality in America, on the moral division of labor and the emotional burden of getting by for countless Americans. They start off with Everett Hughes' essay “Good People and Dirty Work” and how the unconscious mandate that faced the Germans under the Nazi regime was not only unique to that time or place, but that countless other places, the US most certainly included, have morally questionable state-sanctioned action taken beyond the public consciousness. Eyal explores how he took this concept into today's America, looking at positions such as corrections officers, slaughterhouse, and oil rig workers, as well as diving into the labor behind the US's drone program. After touching on the similarities and differences when it comes to policing, and the cultural support behind it, he, Emma, and Sam dive into the story of Harriet, a mental health worker in the Florida prison system, and the abuses of her patients that she had to see and hear under threat of retribution by the guards if she reported it, working up to the death of Darren Rainey in 2012. While nobody in power was punished, of course, Press looks towards Bill Curtis's analysis putting the fault, ultimately, on the Florida voters that elected Rick Scott and a government with a platform of expanding the prison population while cutting all funding for mental health. Next, they move to look inside both a poultry slaughterhouse and oil rigs, exploring how the distaste by society for labor that is absolutely necessary for it to function as it helps to obscure the horrifying conditions in which that labor takes place, exploring the meat processing industry's majority women of color and immigrant workforce and the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill which resulted in the deaths of 11 workers. Lastly, they go from the private to governmental sector as Eyal takes on the emotional turmoil of officers behind the US's Bipartisan drone program and pawning off of the gore and horror, disassociating it from the elite in power and the public eye. They wrap up the interview by discussing the central role American Capitalism and Imperialism play in this moral division of labor, and the ingrained nature of the exploitation of workers even onto the emotional level. Sam and Emma also touch on the incredible moment in labor organizing that we are currently in, before discussing the behind-the-scenes horrors facing school board members taking the brunt of the astroturf anti-mask movement. And in the Fun Half: Charlie Kirk gets just absolutely schooled by Ben Gleib on literally just knowing what a human is, a caller discusses VA Beach's inability to get its police under control to the point that it's affecting tourism, and Will from Cincinnati discusses the David Shor piece on popularism and the Democrats' multi decade-long commitment to not getting anything popular done.
