We're entering the final days of the 2024 presidential election, but a lot can change in a few weeks. Historically, several presidential contests have been upended in October. Coined the "October Surprise," for decades candidates have been tested at the finish line... and many have faltered. In 2016, the "Comey Letter" damaged Hillary Clinton's favorability, and in 2020, Hunter Biden's discovered laptop threatened to derail Joe Biden. In both of these elections, Donald Trump was trailing in the polls-as he is now with Kamala Harris-so could a last-second surprise ensure victory for Trump? On Tuesday, October 15, join us for a panel conversation about the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election, and what our political experts expect to see on election day, November 5. We'll hear from Rachel Bitecofer, political scientist, pollster, and election forecaster turned political strategist; Jonathan M. Metzl, professor of sociology and psychiatry and the director of the Department of Medicine, Health, and Society at Vanderbilt University; and Tara Setmayer, cofounder and chief executive officer of The Seneca Project, who will join Ray Suarez to discuss the state of the race.

We're entering the final days of the 2024 presidential election, but a lot can change in a few weeks. Historically, several presidential contests have been upended in October. Coined the "October Surprise," for decades candidates have been tested at the finish line... and many have faltered. In 2016 and 2020, Donald Trump was trailing in the polls in October – as he is now with Kamala Harris – so could a last-second surprise ensure victory for Trump? Join us at Commonwealth Club - World Affairs on Tuesday, October 15th at Noon, for a special conversation with political strategist and pollster Rachel Bitecofer, Jonathan M. Metzl, author of Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America's Heartland, and Tara Setmayer, co-founder and CEO of the Seneca Project.

In 2018, there was a mass shooting with an AR-15 at a Waffle House. The racially charged act of violence led Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl, a Nashville-based gun policy scholar and author, to advocate for gun reform. But how can we stop gun violence in a nation that sees hundreds of mass shootings every year? As Metzl examined the crime, he began having doubts about continuing to approach gun reform through the lens of public health that he had championed long before. The killings led him to examine the limitations of biomedical frameworks for fully diagnosing or treating the complexities of American gun politics. In his new book What We've Become: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms, Metzl discusses the long history of distrust of public health as well as larger forces—social, ideological, historical, racial, and political—that he argues allow mass shootings to occur on a near daily basis in America and become normalized. What We've Become looks closely at the consequences of mass shootings in this country, the meanings of safety and community, and how obstacles like political gridlock impede progress toward ending these violent crimes. Metzl considers mass shootings to be a symptom of our most unresolved national conflicts and offers his views on what can make things right. Jonathan Metzl is the Frederick B. Rentschler II professor of sociology and psychiatry and the director of the Department of Medicine, Health, and Society at Vanderbilt University.

Få människor är egentligen vita, men makt kan även strömma ur illusioner, konstaterar skribenten Valerie Kyeyune Backström. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Publicerad 2020-06-12.1.Du vet väl om att vitheten är den plats där kroppen upplöses. Eller kanske snarare den plats där kroppen blir till, eller blir fri, eller blir upphöjd: där den upplöses inför det akuta varandet vi andra tillskrivs. Alla andra tillstånd gör kroppen så synlig, sårbar, mottaglig för våld, för bestraffning. Vithet är en vila att insvepas i. Ett slags skydd.2.Vitheten är ett vapen som med tiden haft råd att bli mjukt, trubbigt, nästan slött: eller är det så slipat att dess stick knappt känns? Vitheten har råd att vara mjuk eftersom dess makt är så allrådande, den har råd att vara mjuk, för grymhet är alltid möjligt att ta till senare.3.Vitheten är så lätt att mytologisera, men egentligen är allting väldigt enkelt. Vitheten vill bli osynlig. Den vill ta omvägar. Omvägarna är ett sätt att fördunkla det klara, att upphöja det låga, att förklä det simpla. Allt är en fråga om makt, även om det rör sig om en illusion.Därför är vitheten också en ideologi värd att dö för. I ”Dying of whiteness” skriver sociologen och psykiatrikern Jonathan M. Metzl om hur vita amerikaner offrar sina egna liv för att bevara vit överhöghet. De motarbetar reformer som skulle hjälpa dem själva, rent av rädda deras liv, bara för att svarta och latinos också skulle få glädje av dem.Du tycker det låter korkat, men det är egentligen smart. Ideologin kan kompensera för så mycket, till och med döden. Tanken att tillhöra ett utvalt folk, en utvald ras, liknar närmast en mystisk upplevelse. Ett slags sekt. 4.Makt låter flummigt, jag vill prata om pengar istället. Jag vill prata om varor. För inte så länge sedan var du en sådan. En vara. 5.I essän ”Moral Inhabitants” skriver Toni Morrison om hur svarta människor listades tillsammans med ris, tjära, terpentin. En gång var du, eller inte du, men dem du kom ifrån, med på en sådan lista över import och export, med på ett sådant skepp. Det var inte en känsla, utan ett faktum. Mellan ris och tjära: Du.Morrison säger ”Om du endast kan vara lång för att någon annan står på knäna, så har du ett allvarligt problem. Och min känsla är att vita människor har ett väldigt, väldigt allvarligt problem.” 6.Det är ingen slump att Johannes Anyuru i sin essä ”Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth & Tupacs vålnad” beskriver vita människor som genomskinliga. Vitheten är att befrias från kropp, från kroppslighet, från sårbarheten att vara så tydligt exponerad. Men alla människor har en kropp. Ingen människa är egentligen genomskinlig. Ändå ville du bara få gå igenom världen transparent, ren som luft. Ayi Kwei Armah skriver: ”Det är allt man kämpar för här: att komma närmare den vite mannen. Allt detta skrikande mot de vita var inte hat. Det var kärlek. Förvriden, men inte desto mindre kärlek. ”7.Vitheten har en olidlig lätthet, men den har också en diskret charm. Man blir så av att passera, av att ha världen under sina fötter, att ha ett likhetstecken mellan sina erfarenheter och att vara människa. Att slippa tänka på vad för bild barnet projicerar på ens svarta kropp, att slippa skämmas, att slippa skrämmas.8.Vithetens funktion är att fördela resurser, och att få denna snedvridna resursfördelning att framstå som naturgiven istället för naturvidrig.9.Vitheten är inte en plats, det är ett tillstånd. Om det hade varit en plats hade du kunnat åka dit, du kunde ha sparat ihop till en biljett. Jag tycker dina fantasier är infantila, men kanske har jag fel. Kanske är din dröm rimlig, eller åtminstone inte helt orimlig. I början av USA:s historia var det inte en självklarhet att vare sig irländare, italienare eller ens svenskar skulle räknas som vita. Det var tack vare din svarthet som detta mellanläge, detta köpslående blev möjlig. Genom att förhandla om sin plats mellan två poler integrerades migranterna i den nya världen.Kulturvetaren Jens Björk Andersson skriver: ”Vithet har särskilt i USA visat sig vara effektivare än till exempel klass vad gäller att ena olika etniciteter och nationaliteter. Styrkan ligger antagligen i den relativa instabilitet som en vithetskoalition skapar. För det första skapar vithet ett fält eller område för 'nästan vita' som under de rätta förhållanden ges möjlighet att bli fullvärdiga vita. För det andra så skapar idén om vithet en hierarki även inom den vita gruppen, där en grupp har möjlighet att klättra i rang på bekostnad av en annan grupp”.Det känns som att du glömmer bort den detaljen. Vithet finns bara för att kunna distanseras från dig. Vithet kunde bara göras, behövde bara göras för att ta avstånd från dig.10.Vitheten har ångest. Det har du också. Men när vitheten har ångest ägnas den rubriker och analyser.. Att andra också har lider och dör spelar mindre roll. Det är som att vissa är födda till att lida. Det är som att lidandet bara räknas när det drabbar vissa.11.Visst vet du att ingen människa är vit på riktigt? Det är därför kameran, ända sedan sin tillblivelse hela tiden varit tvungen att kompensera för detta faktum. Det mest verklighetstrogna återgivandet var aldrig att föredra, utan det blekaste. Så vitheten är egentligen inte en hudfärg, det är mer en slags neuros. En förträngning. Genom att vägra att acceptera sig själv som den är, komplicerad, måste allt det andra projiceras på svarta, på Den andra. Svartheten är inte en ras, det är en föreställning, det är vithetens egen mörka spegelbild. När dom pratar om vita pratar de egentligen om en dröm. När de pratar om svarta pratar de egentligen om sig själva, om sina egna mörka djup.12.I boken "Medborgare" skriver Claudia Rankine:”En vän hävdar att amerikaner för en kamp mellan det 'historiska jaget' och 'jag-jaget'. Med det menar hon att ni för det mesta umgås som vänner, med ömsesidigt intresse och i stort sett kompatibla personligheter; men ibland kommer era historiska jag, hennes vita jag och ditt svarta jag, eller ditt vita jag och hennes svarta jag, störtande med hela kraften i era amerikanska positioneringar. Då står ni där, ansikte mot ansikte under några sekunder som suddar bort leendena från era läppar. Vad sa du? Omedelbart tycks bandet mellan er bräckligt, svagt, villkorat av det historiska jagets överskridanden. Och trots att era sammankopplade personliga historier förväntas rädda er från missförstånd får de er oftast bara att förstå alltför väl vad som menas”.13.Städer brinner, rutor krossas, och vitheten sörjer rutorna mer än de sörjer dig. De trasiga rutorna, de genomskinliga rutorna, de svarta rutorna fyller flöden, fyller utrymmen som om rutorna i sig skulle innehålla en lösning, vara svaret eller problemet eller kanske både och. Det är som om branden bara räknas när den drabbar egendom, och inte människor. Som om du inte längre räknades när du slutade vara deras egendom, blev din egen, ensamma enhet. Nu sitter du fast där i mellanrummet, inte längre vara, men ännu inte människa. Ett villebråd.Valerie Kyeyune Backström, kritiker och skribent

Jonathan M. Metzl is the Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry and the Director of the Department of Medicine, Health, and Society at Vanderbilt University. His most recent book is What We've Become: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms. We discuss how lax gun laws and gun ownership as an identity.   The public health narrative is about how guns pose a health risk, a threat to mortality to our bodies. Those who vote based on guns see guns as symbols of power or protection. In fact, many people in the South own guns because they're afraid of government tyranny. Unfortunately, gun laws have become more and more lax in a country that has almost 500 million civilian-owned firearms. Metzl shares that “We've had a dramatic erosion in the ability of states and towns and the country itself to limit who can own and carry a firearm.”      Follow Jonathan on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/JonathanMetzl    Follow Mila on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Sponsor:  Thanks to Shopify for supporting Future Hindsight!

Title: What We've Become with Jonathan M. Metzl  Every single day we are seeing unbearable atrocities across the world and we have a front row seat to them through our phones and the media. When you add this to the cultural tensions and division being driven in our society, how does our psyche adapt?  Today Niall is joined by Jonathan M.Metzl, a psychiatrist and sociologist who has done immense work in researching and writing about gun violence and race in America. Jonathan's unique lens casts a wider view of how the modern world is polluted with power and vested interests, and why that can leave us feeling hopeless as humans. Jonathan explains the historical and modern place of gun politics in the U.S. and how being exposed to constant tragedy desensitises us and dehumanises victims. Niall and Jonathan ask the big question that is also the title of Jonathan's latest book, ‘What We've Become' and share their own fears and hopes for the future of humanity.  This episode discusses some difficult subjects, please take care when listening.  Check out Niall's Sleep course over on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslin Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

A lot of white people are quite hesitant to start a conversation about white supremacy. Either they don't know how to get started or they're nervous about the backlash of being anti-racist from Black people or other races.  In this episode, Jill Nagle, the co-owner of Evolutionary Workplace, joins us to discuss how we can dismantle the white supremacy mythology. Jill makes this important point of how white supremacy only hijacks part of our humanity. It corrupts our willingness and ability to look at hard truths. Whiteness only exists socially, because there is no biological basis for the distinction among races. We all belong to one race – and that's the human race!  This problem is rooted in history and we are still carrying it in our bodies until this day. But we end up arguing, polarizing, and canceling each other – instead of reckoning with history, and all the trauma, abuse, and pain – so we could all heal as one. When I asked Jill about what a successful life looks like to her, she said that she finds success in acting with integrity, showing up for people she loves, and catalyzing transformation that helped the world evolve into a safer, more loving, understanding, and compassionate place.  In this episode, you will hear: What is white supremacy mythology The different connotations of supremacy The dangers that come from white supremacy Why people are resistant to dismantling white supremacy Undoing the harmful effects of white supremacy within our white bodies Ways that white people can help dismantle white supremacy Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

In the episode, "In the Wake of Uvalde: Stopping Gun Violence Is Not a Mental Health Issue But a Moral One (S4, E2)" I review the mass gun shooting incident in Uvalde, Texas that occurred on May 24, 2022 and tackle the question: is more gun control needed or mental health reform? While mental health reform is always needed, when Republican lawmakers state it's a mental health issue, they are speaking of punishment before a crime to those already getting help over dealing with the core problem: looking at not why the shooter did it, but how. Instead of stigmatizing the mentally ill, looking at the facts at how easy access to guns in our nation has contributed to  gun violence in America is key in creating a solution to the problem, if that's what we care about as a nation. When 80-89% of the American population, including gun-owners, agree that common sense laws can make a difference, by kowtowing to the NRA, people in Washington are not representing the majority of Americans where safety is concerned. Compiled research suggests that our assumptions that it's all about mental illness are grossly inaccurate and that violence is not always predictable. But what is predictable is that the more guns that are available with easy access, the more likelihood a person can make a deadly mistake reacting to an emotionally-charged rage with a destructive weapon.  Study citation:Jonathan M.

Why do folks support things that go against their best interests, or sometimes even harm them? For example, we know that most firearm suicides in the US are white men living in rural communities; and yet, that demographic votes against many polices that may help curb the number of gun suicide deaths.  Why is there that disconnect? What factors into that decision making? To try to find answers to that very large question, hosts Kelly and JJ are joined by Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl, the Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry, and the director of the Department of Medicine, Health, and Society, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Dr. Metzl is also the author of books like Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America's Heartland,  the Protest Psychosis, and Against Health: How Health Became the New Morality.Mentioned in this podcast:'Dying of whiteness': why racism is at the heart of America's gun inaction (the Guardian) How race permeates the politics of gun control (CNN) Guns and race: The different worlds of black and white Americans (Brookings) Gun crazy: For too many Americans, guns are tied to masculinity, patriotism and white power (Salon) For more information on Brady, follow us on social media @Bradybuzz or visit our website at bradyunited.org.Full transcripts and bibliographies of this episode are available at bradyunited.org/podcast.National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255.Music provided by: David “Drumcrazie” CurbySpecial thanks to Hogan Lovells for their long-standing legal support℗&©2019 Red, Blue, and BradySupport the show (https://www.bradyunited.org/donate)

Join Change Catalyst Founder & CEO Melinda Briana Epler with Daralyse Lyons on understanding what it means to be an upstander: an individual who sees wrong and takes action – an important part of allyship. We talked about Daralyse Lyons's upbringing as a biracial child, and what led her to become an advocate and an upstander. In this fascinating conversation, We learned about:Colorism and the dangerous path of bias based on skin color.The difference between an upstander and bystander.The important asset of intersectional diversity in the workplace and product development process.Leading by example and the inclusive leadership path you can choose to lead in the workplace.Some of our favorite quotes:“Once people start to connect with other people in a way that is emotional and real and maybe visceral, it becomes impossible to disengage at that point”“I don't pretend to know what's best for any person. But I do think that when we start allowing ourselves to be defined by society and by other people's expectations of us, that's a huge problem”“One thing that people can do if they really want to be allies, is not to superimpose our own definitions on to other people, but to ask them.”“I think that this idea that we have to kind of rank people, and rank ourselves, is so problematic”“The bystanders are actually the ones who tend to make up the majority of the social collective, and who tend to be the ones who have the ability to – if they will step into that upstander role – ensure these atrocities don't happen, or at least we could stop them a lot sooner”Additional resources: Learn more about Daralyse on her website: https://www.daralyselyons.com/Demystifying Diversity Podcast https://www.daralyselyons.com/demystifying-diversityThe Upstander Project at https://upstanderproject.org/“Let's Define Upstander” at Not in Our Town: https://www.niot.org/blog/lets-define-upstander“Perpetrators, Collaborators, and Bystanders” at Holocaust.com.au: https://www.holocaust.com.au/the-facts/perpetrators-collaborators-and-bystanders/“Dying of whiteness” by Jonathan M.

Podcast Description “I think if we don’t fix the institutions people can apologize all they want, but the problem will remain. And so that’s why antiracism is important, but so is thinking about how antiracism can be a structural change in addition to making people individually more aware of the problem.” Jonathan M.

With the rise of the Tea Party and the election of Donald Trump, many middle- and lower-income white Americans threw their support behind conservative politicians who pledged to make life great again for people like them. But as Dying of Whiteness shows, the right-wing policies that resulted from this white backlash put these voters' very health at risk—and in the end, threaten everyone's well-being. Physician and sociologist Jonathan M. Metzl travels across America's heartland seeking to better understand the politics of racial resentment and its impact on public health. Interviewing a range of Americans, he uncovers how racial anxieties led to the repeal of gun control laws in Missouri, stymied the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee, and fueled massive cuts to schools and social services in Kansas. Although such measures promised to restore greatness to white America, Metzl's systematic analysis of health data dramatically reveals they did just the opposite: these policies made life sicker, harder, and shorter in the very populations they purported to aid.  Thus, white gun suicides soared, life expectancies fell, and school dropout rates rose. Powerful, searing, and sobering, Dying of Whiteness ultimately demonstrates just how much white America would benefit by emphasizing cooperation, rather than by chasing false promises of supremacy.

This is an encore presentation.

This is an encore presentation. During the last presidential election, many lower- and middle-class white Americans were drawn to politicians who pledge to make their lives great again. But have the resulting policies actually placed those very Americans at a greater risk of sickness and death?

Misperceptions that persons with schizophrenia are violent or dangerous lie at the heart of stigmatizations of the disease. This talk focus on how these modern-day American conceptualizations of schizophrenic patients as violent emerged during the civil-rights era of the 1950s-1970s in response to a larger set of conversations about race.  It integrates institutional, professional, and cultural discourses in order to trace shifts in popular and medical understandings of schizophrenia from a disease of white docility to one of “Negro” hostility, and from a disease that was nurtured to one that was feared. The first section tracks the medicalization of race and schizophrenia within a particular institution, the Ionia Hospital for the Criminally Insane.  The talk’s second section contextualizes the Ionia case histories within shifting psychiatric definitions of schizophrenia.  We will explore the ways in which published case studies explicitly connected clinical presentations of African-American men with the politics of the civil rights movement in ways that treated aspirations for liberation and civil rights as symptoms of mental illness.  Finally, the third section reads shifts in psychiatric nosology within changing American cultural concerns about black masculinity.  Triangulating the historical connections between institutional forces, psychiatric practices, and civil-rights politics helps me grapple with some of the seemingly naturalized characteristics of present-day schizophrenia discourse—characteristics that often appear denatured of their explicit connections to race.  These include cultural tropes of angry, homeless mentally ill persons, or findings demonstrating that persons with schizophrenia reside in prisons far more often than in psychiatric care facilities.

Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Medicine, Health and Society; the Director of the Center for Medicine, Health, and Society; and Professor of Psychiatry.
