Crossing Lines: Cross-Ethnic Coalitions in India and Prospects for Minority Representation (Routledge, 2024) explains why, how, and where ethnic political parties unexpectedly seek votes from non-coethnics and when voters support non-coethnic parties. It draws on case studies of three Indian states (Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan) and of Indian national elections to demonstrate how differences in party systems impact political party strategies and voter choices. It shows that multipolar party systems encourage political parties to provide physical security, representation, and economic benefits for minorities, especially Muslims, in India and as a result, foster cross-ethnic links between parties and voters. However, as political arenas become dominated by two or even one party, advocacy for the interests of marginalized groups declines, weakening cross-ethnic linkages. The book thus explains why representation and advocacy for Muslims in Uttar Pradesh and at the national level has alternated dramatically in the 21st century. Yash is a PhD candidate in Political Science at the School of Public and International Affairs, University of Cincinnati. His research is focused on the interactions of political mobilization and anti-minority violence within Hindu nationalist organizations in India.

In this episode of Physician's Guide to Doctoring, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with returning guest Dr. Stephen Bradley who shares insights from his co-authored article addressing how medical institutions emphasize diversity but frequently neglect true inclusion. Drawing from personal experiences including decisions about personal grooming to conform to professional expectations and those of colleagues, Dr. Bradley explores the subtle and overt pressures underrepresented physicians face to fit in.The conversation covers actionable strategies to foster inclusive environments, the "minority tax" in medicine, and how healthcare organizations can support their diverse workforce beyond recruitment. Whether you're a medical student, physician, or healthcare leader, this episode offers thought-provoking perspectives on creating a more inclusive medical community.Three Actionable Takeaways:Move Beyond Metrics: Diversity in numbers isn't enough—institutions must foster environments where underrepresented groups feel valued and authentically included.Understand the "Minority Tax": Recognize and address the added burden placed on minority physicians to mentor, advocate, and represent, often without institutional support.Create Inclusive Policies: Small but meaningful changes, like flexible grooming and dress codes, recognizing diverse holidays, and improving communication, can significantly enhance workplace inclusivity.About Guest:Dr. Steven Bradley is a board-certified anesthesiologist and medical ethicist dedicated to mentorship and enhancing diversity in healthcare. He earned his medical degree from Howard University College of Medicine and completed his anesthesiology residency at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Furthering his expertise, Dr. Bradley pursued a fellowship at the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics.

Why is Black joy so radical? Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance reminded us all why it matters.--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/In this episode of Creation's Paths, Charlie and Brian discuss the importance of celebrating Black joy, particularly in the wake of Kendrick Lamar's powerful Super Bowl halftime performance. They highlight how mainstream media often focuses on Black pain and struggle while overlooking moments of joy, resilience, and celebration. They reflect on the larger societal tendency to reduce minority communities to their suffering, drawing parallels to the representation of LGBTQ+ stories and Indigenous narratives in American media.The conversation also delves into the symbolism of Lamar's performance, emphasizing its prophetic nature, the resistance it faced, and the joy that shone through despite the serious message. They discuss Serena Williams' joyful dancing, the backlash against it, and the broader cultural resistance to seeing marginalized communities experience and express joy.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations:https://ko-fi.com/cedorsetthttps://patreon.com/cedorsett$CreationsPathsSubstack: https://www.creationspaths.com/For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqOChristopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGNThe Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcastChurch of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections:BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.comThreads https://www.threads.net/@creationspathsInstagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/Chapters:00:00 Introduction to the Year 2025 and Kendrick Lamar's Performance00:17 Celebrating Black Joy and Culture01:13 Hosts Introduction and Black History Month01:52 Highlighting Black Joy in Entertainment02:49 The Importance of Joy in Minority Representation03:37 The Impact of Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show06:44 Analyzing the Reactions to the Performance10:19 The Role of Joy in Sustaining Justice16:48 Reflecting on Minority Representation in Media25:51 Encouragement to Seek and Celebrate Joy27:53 Conclusion and Call to Action Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe

In this episode, Soheb Niazi and Julien Levesque discuss Muslim caste organizations in India. Soheb Niazi is an historian who specializes in the social and economic history of modern India. He is particularly interested in studying the history of non-elite (non-ashrāf) Muslim actors in South Asia to understand the formation of caste and class relations among them. Soheb is currently a Research Fellow at the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS). During his stay here in Leiden, he is working on his book manuscript, tentatively titled “Contesting Genealogies: Hierarch and Social Mobility among Muslim Occupational Classes in Colonial North India (1870-1940).” Julien Levesque is a political sociologist whose work focuses on socio-political dynamics in South Asian Muslim societies. His first monograph, published in French in 2022 by the Presses universitaires de Rennes, looks into nationalism and identity construction in Pakistan with a focus on the southern Sindh province. Julien currently serves as a Lecturer & Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. His ongoing work examines caste-based political mobilization among Muslims in India. In today's conversation, Julien and Soheb talk about their recent collaboration as guest editors of a special section in the journal Contemporary South Asia, entitled “Caste Politics, Minority Representation, and Social Mobility: The Associational Life of Muslim Caste in India.” As guest editors, the two curated the collection and also co-authored its substantial introduction. In the following conversation, we discuss the topic of Muslim caste associations generally, and how these organizations reflect and contest political dynamics within the Muslim community, but also beyond into the broader Indian polity.

This year alone, lawmakers in more than two dozen states have introduced or passed legislation in favor of ranked choice voting systems, where voters rank candidates in order of preference on their ballot. Advocates sing the praises of ranked-choice elections, claiming it could be an antidote to the United States’ extreme political polarization. Others say switching to a new voting system would be too complicated for voters. On the show today, Maresa Strano, deputy director of political reform at New America, unpacks ranked choice voting: what it does well, where it falls short, and what our voting systems have to do with the broader economy. Then, a new strategy for wiping out medical debt is catching the attention of some local governments. And we'll get into why mixed signals about the U.S. economy are complicating things for the Biden campaign. Later, a listener shares how they learned the difficulty of farm work firsthand. Plus, this week's answer to the Make Me Smart Question comes from sci-fi writer Andy Weir, author of “The Martian.” Here’s everything we talked about today: “How Ranked-Choice Voting Works” from The New York Times “What We Know About Ranked-Choice Voting” from New America “The Hottest Political Reform of the Moment Gains Ground” from Politico “RCV is Neither Panacea nor Catastrophe for Minority Representation” from New America “Oregon becomes the latest state to put ranked choice voting on the ballot” from NBC News “U.S. Incomes Fall for Third Straight Year” from The Wall Street Journal “A new way to tackle medical debt gains traction.” from The Washington Post We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question.

Nic Hall is a Marine veteran, Dad, and avid fly-fishing angler in Denver, Colorado. He mainly targets carp in urban environments and trout throughout Colorado. When not fishing, he volunteers with several nonprofits, engaging youth via the Trout Unlimited "Trout in the Classroom" program and teaching fly fishing to underrepresented minorities through fly fishing camps. He also serves as a Board Member of the Denver chapter of Trout Unlimited, where efforts are made to restore and conserve the Denver South Platte River. Nic started fly fishing three years ago when a friend from West Virginia visited him in Colorado. Growing up as an urban kid in Baltimore, fly fishing was one of those things that didn't seem attainable. He didn't see anyone who looked like him fly fishing, so he never tried or was introduced to it until 2020. As he becomes a more proficient angler, part of his goal is to share the experience with kids who look like him, ultimately helping them learn about angling, conservation, and overcoming adversity. He hopes that through his nonprofit volunteer work, he can preach stewardship on the water and get new anglers excited about fishing, protecting public lands, and conserving our waterways. Hence, they are here for the next generation. In this episode, Joshua and Caleb chat with Nic about: -all things carp fishing, especially in an urban environment -minority representation in fly fishing -giving back through fly fishing nonprofits -tips for taking very young children fishing and much more.

This past weekend, I met up with Durrell Smith who is a passionate bird dog hunter and founder of an organization called Minority Outdoor Alliance. Durrell was kind enough to take me on my very first hunt period. But specifically, we went wild quail hunting. I wanted to get a taste of that experience and I also wanted to interview Durrell for an article I'm writing. I apologize for the quality of the audio but I thought it was important to capture this conversation in the moment. We had just finished taking two of his dogs out in search of some quail … we came up empty at that point. But we were taking a quick break before and he his fellow hunter went back at it again. You'll hear some wind and some of the noises from the dogs and for some reason, I sound like I'm very far away, but please stay with it! We had a great conversation about conservation, perceptions about minorities and firearms and outdoor recreation, the value of life and the meaning of death. Yeah, we covered a lot. I think you'll get a lot out of it… I know I did! You can learn more about Minority Outdoor Alliance at their website! Please check them out and follow them on social media.

When Star Trek's first regular episode after the pilot was in pre-production, the director Joseph Sargent noticed a glaring problem. All of the seats that ringed the futuristic bridge of the Enterprise, including the communications chair, were to be filled with white, male actors. Sargent reflexively felt it was wrong that Black people should not … Continue reading "The Enterprise is not a White Space: why minority representation on Star Trek was so radical and risky in the 1960s"

Terhys and I first met when she travelled to New Zealand and ended up living here for a year after visiting several countries in Asia. Sometime later she visited South Africa, where she filmed her travel series,  Where Art Thou. With this in mind, it makes sense that our conversation took on a travel theme. We talk about her personal experiences travelling abroad, how the meaning of blackness shifted with different countries and the struggles she had with belonging and identity when it comes to her Caribbean and Indian roots.Have a story you want to share?

According to its website, the newly launched Association of Minority Zoo & Aquarium Professionals (AMZAP) is comprised of professionals currently working in the zoological industry focused on minority representation in the zoo field across all disciplines and at all levels. Its goal is to build a sense of community amongst minorities currently working in the zoo field and to promote animal care and conservation careers as viable options for interested minorities. To achieve these objectives, AMZAP focuses on four core goals: Networking, Outreach, Mentoring, and Professional Development. One of the organization's founding members, Craig Saffoe, curator at the National Zoo, discusses the group's formation and its plans for the future.   That Sounds Wild: Little Blue Penguin.  Rickey Kinley, Cincinnati Zoo Animal Care Software Zoo Logic ZOOmility

Hey you, thanks for checking our podcast, we'd love for you to stay! This week we are discussing the lack of cultural and racial representation in the Harry Potter series. We can all agree that the majority of non-white character haven't been fully developed and granted character development and arcs, their white counterparts have.

This is Part 2 of my interview with journalist and author Shilo Kino. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, I would recommend you go back and listen to that episode to get the full context of this conversation. In this episode, we talk about what motivated Shilo to stay in journalism, writing and releasing her first book and how she is feeling ahead of her year-long full-immersion Te Reo Māori course.Language notes:1. "Kaumātua" are tribal elders and help to preserve traditions and pass knowledge down to younger generations. They are highly revered.2. "Mana" is kind of a tricky term to understand fully through words only. In Māori, it refers to an intangible force found in people and objects. It underpins everything and to have mana means to have spiritual power, authority, identity and respect.3.  "Waka" means "canoe", but in the context of this episode, the word is used metaphorically to mean "journey".Other notes:"Ihumātao" is a village in Auckland, but in this episode it refers to protests by local Māori against proposals to use the land, which was initially confiscated by the New Zealand government as punishment, for housing. For more information, you can visit: https://www.protectihumatao.com/"The Stuff Apology" refers to an apology made by one of the country's largest media outlets for its racist coverage of Māori stories. You can read it here.Shilo's book is called The Pōrangi Boy and you learn more about it here.You can support and follow Shilo's work through her Instagram account and Twitter, as well as her column at Newsroom. She is documenting her Te Reo Māori journey through her own podcast, Back to Kura.If you liked this episode, please make sure to share and leave a review. I would appreciate all your help in getting these stories out to more people so that we too can challenge the narrative and be the representation we want to see. 

Challenging the status quo and being the representation you want to see can be a lonely uphill battle. Shilo is an author and journalist who is of Ngāpuhi and Tainui iwi and she on that path to breaking down existing narratives and heavily entrenched racism against Māori in New Zealand through her storytelling.In this first part of the interview, we talk about our early days as graduate journalists at The Manukau Courier, Shilo's time in Hong Kong as a missionary and battling racism while working in Tauranga.Make sure to tune in to next week's episode to hear the rest of her interview, where we delve more into how she embarked on the journey she's on now to reclaiming her own identity, language and culture in the context of working in the media.Language notes:1. "iwi" means "people" or "tribe".2. "Aotearoa" is the Māori name for New Zealand.3. "Pākehā" means a non-Māori New Zealander, generally of European descent4. A marae is a meeting ground and focal point of Māori communities, incorporating a carved meeting house, Te Wharenui. It's where the community gathers for celebrations, funerals, and other important events.You can support and follow Shilo's work through her Instagram account and Twitter, as well as her column at Newsroom.

In this episode, I talk to Rafaela Dancygier, who is Professor of Politics and Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. We talk about her book “Dilemmas of Inclusion” which was published in 2017 with Princeton University Press. The book investigates how and why political parties include Muslim candidates in Western Europe. Muslims have grown as a share of the electorate so parties have an incentive to appeal to them. However, many Muslims also hold values on cultural issues such as gender equality or LGBT rights that differ strongly from other electorates that parties want to appeal to. This creates a dilemma especially for parties on the Left. Hence, when parties want to do more than symbolic appeals to Muslim communities this can lead to negative trade-offs in the long run such as unstable support patterns but also a reduction in female candidates. The conversation also focuses on questions of minority representation more generally and which factors prevent higher levels of migrant background politicians. If you want to know more about Rafaela and her research you can follow her on Twitter under at RDancygier or visit her website https://scholar.princeton.edu/rdancygi/home I hope you enjoy the conversation.

The Walt Disney Animation Studios has created 58 animated films thus far. Only 12 of them feature a non-white main character like Mulan, Pocahontas, Lilo & Stitch, The Princess and the Frog and so on.It's clear that Disney Animations is looking to continue to diversify their works; with their upcoming film Raya and the Last Dragon, the production team drew inspiration from Southeast Asian cultures and features Asian stars like Awkwafina on the cast. While this can be said as a step in the right direction, children and young adults still identify with Disney’s classics despite its all white production team who often simplify cultural norms and are sometimes entirely ignorant of them, because it is the most common and frequently used entertainment. In today's episode of 'This House Debates', Heather sits down with Huiwen and Jennifer (Side Proposition) and Grace and Tianzhi (Side Opposition) to explore the topic 'This House Believes That Disney's animated films featuring ethnic minorities do more good than harm'. The all-female debate round listed themes of cultural representation, historical accuracy, and Disney's responsibility as a dominant production company. Please note: In a debate, debaters are assigned a side that they may or may not agree with. It is their duty to argue for that side regardless of their personal opinions. The views, ideas, and examples presented by the debaters do not represent nor reflect their own. Enjoy the episode!

For many of the same reasons underrepresented populations lack access to appropriate healthcare services, they are also left out of clinical trials. The problem is widely known, but solutions have been hard to come by. In this episode, Michael Poku, MD, MBA, biopharma medical director at Signify Health, explains why this is the case and then shares some approaches he and his colleagues have successfully used to remove the barriers to clinical trial participation. An important aspect is understanding the larger picture—that inequality is due to in large measure to longstanding and systemic issues. He discusses how unmet social needs rarely occur in isolation. Addressing those needs together can lead to better representation in clinical trials. “Sponsors are incredibly excited about opportunities to make their trials more representative and to have underrepresented minorities participate,” he says.In addition to his work at Signify Health, Dr. Poku is on clinical faculty at Methodist Dallas Medical Center and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he cares for patients as an internist and teaches trainees and medical students. Prior to his role at Signify Health, Dr Poku was a consultant at McKinsey & Company.

In the wake of Black Lives Matter, Britain is thinking seriously once again about the obstacles faced by the country's ethnic minorities right across society, including in government and politics. Although representation has obviously increased in recent years, and there are more politicians from minority communities at Westminster and in council chambers than there used to be, it's still not as high as it would need to allow us to say it's proportionate. In political parties in particular, particularly at the grassroots level, it's woeful and that prompts a number of questions. In this Podcast, Co-Director Professor Tim Bale discusses ethnic minority representation within UK political parties with special guests Councillor Farah Hussain (Labour, Redbridge), Councillor Rabina Khan (Liberal Democrat, Shadwell), and Mercy Muroki (Commissioner - Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities).

This episode explores ethnic minority representation in financial services, specifically for women of colour, as they navigate their career paths, keenly mindful of the rate of attrition. As members of the 30% Club, Janet and Ann discuss how policy can set targets and drive change and we consider the Covid-19 balancing act between women’s roles at work and home, essential as we frame the evolving world of work.
