The University of Washington celebrated sociologist and Associate Professor Dr. LaShawnDa L. Pittman 2023 publication, Grandmothering While Black: A Twenty-First-Century Story of Love, Coercion, and Survival. A listener alerted Gus about this book when it was first published. Gus reminded them of The C.O.W.S.'s #WhiteGuestOnly policy. However, we did hear from Dr. Pittman earlier this year during the celebration of Dorothy Roberts's years of superb attempted counter-racist scholarship. Dr. Pittman was a part of a panel discussion that included Professor Roberts - the audio is in the archives. Gus saw advertisements for the coming celebration for the paperback publication of Dr. Pittman's important work on black grandmothers who serve as the primary caregiver for the their black grandchildren. She details the numerous ways the System of White Supremacy "coerces" these grandmothers into becoming guardians - even though they lack the legal status as a "parent." This talk featured 2 Suspected Racists alongside Dr. Pittman, and it would have been three, but one White female called out sick. The Gus felt the usual black misandry of the academy. However, Dr. Pittman twice made time to personally acknowledge and thank Gus for attending. Not the end of the White Supremacy, but her act of gratitude was appreciated. #BlackGrandparentsMatter #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

In this episode, Professor Dorothy Roberts opens Torn Apart with a first-hand account from a young Black mother, Vanessa Peoples, who became the subject of a government child welfare investigation when a stranger accused Peoples of neglecting her young son who had wandered away from her briefly in a park.  Professor Roberts brings the listeners through the horrors that the child welfare system inflicts on families by invading homes, targeting low-income families, and threatening to separate parents and children.  With the help of guest experts, Professor Roberts argues that the family policing system is designed to terrorize low-income, majority Black families.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Meet Dorothy RobertsDorothy Roberts is a distinguished professor of Africana Studies, Law, and Sociology atUniversity of Pennsylvania.

More than one in ten Black children in America will be forcibly separated from their parents and placed in foster care by the time they reach age eighteen. Professor Dorothy Roberts joins us to discuss the racialized history of parenting, family autonomy, and the child welfare system. From the role of slavery in framing the Black mother to disastrous 90s legislation rooted in racial stereotypes, Professor Roberts makes the case that child welfare was designed to punish the most disenfranchised communities instead of to protect children. After over thirty years of research, Dr. Roberts concludes that abolition is the only way to end the trauma caused by what she calls family policing. Guest: Dorothy Roberts (@DorothyERoberts) is the George A. Weiss University Professor of Law and Sociology, the Raymond Pace and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander Professor of Civil Rights, and a professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Her newest book, Torn Apart: How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families– and How Abolition Can Build a Safer World is available today. If you enjoy this show and want to help fight poverty and injustice, consider making a donation to Community Legal Services today!

Emma hosts Dorothy Roberts, professor of Law, Sociology, and Civil Rights at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss her recent book Torn Apart: How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families--and How Abolition Can Build a Safer World. Emma first covers yesterday's simultaneous mass shootings, including five dead in Tulsa, the continued shortage of US-produced baby formula, the Israeli murder of another journalist in the occupied West Bank, and the GOP pitching mental health policy, which they don't support, as a solution to gun violence. Professor Dorothy Roberts then joins to discuss her book as a continuation of her work on the family policing system that we call “child welfare,” a system that fits neatly within our greater carceral apparatus. First, she and Emma trace the history of the family policing system back to the early era of American settler colonialism and slavery, with family separation as a tool of control over Black and indigenous communities, seen in the wake of the Civil War with “apprenticeships” of black children that put them back in the hands of former slave owners, and throughout the early history of the US Military removing indigenous kids from their communities, put into either military barracks or the infamous residential schools. Professor Roberts and Emma then discuss the framing of tactics as the criminalization of poverty disguised as the saving of children, and how this “benevolent terror” stripped agency away from POC and families under the guise of empathy. Next, Prof. Roberts walks through the impact of political stereotypes of Black women on the genuine criminalization of them and their children, starting with Reagan's endorsement of the “welfare queen” myth alongside the trifecta of crime control, the war on drugs, a complete unraveling of the welfare system, and continuing deep into the Clinton administration's commitment to neoliberalism. They wrap up the interview by moving to the criminalization of Black women's pregnancy in a way that has become increasingly more prevalent in an era of assault on reproductive rights, and take on the particular role of law enforcement in ensuring these terror attacks on poor families are committed, before Dorothy takes on the importance of income community-based programs and services in creating a future without these carceral attacks on family. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt and Brandon as Dave from Jamaica calls to address the worrying obsession on the right (and not-so-on-the-right) over the Depp v. Heard decision, as they watch Crowder capitalize on a WOMAN being denounced as a DEFAMER, and Matt Lech dives deeper into the idea of defamation vs. free speech. Will from Indiana sparks Emma's sports talk, Sam Harris philosophizes about children dying, but with reverse racism, and Joe Rogan discusses his turn against UBI as he realized that capitalists DO deserve all the power, otherwise, who's gonna be a wage slave?

Tom's guest today is Dorothy Roberts, a professor of law and sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of four books, including Killing the Black Body,about systemic abuse of African American women, and Fatal Invention, which explores the relationship between race, science and politics. Her new book argues that the nation's foster care system, putatively designed to protect children, instead deprives Black parents of fundamental rights and leads to traumatic consequences for Black children. The child welfare system, she argues, is “more accurately described as the family policing system,” and she calls for it to be dismantled. The book is called Torn Apart:  How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families—And How Abolition Can Build a Safer World. Dorothy Roberts joins us on Zoom from Philadelphia. You're welcome to join the conversation. Call: 410.662.8780. email: midday@wypr.org.

David Glanz talks to Professor David Huang, 2018 Clunies Ross Knowledge Commercialisation Awardee, and collaborators Associate Professor Peter Czabotar and Associate Professor Guillaume Lessene. The three researchers, along with Professor Andrew Roberts, are recognised for their role in the development of a novel, potent anti-cancer drug called venetoclax. The drug, discovered in collaboration with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, and AbbVie, was recently approved for use in the US, Europe and Australia to treat certain forms of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Derived from a basic research discovery in the late 1980s at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, the team’s findings helped to solve a problem that eluded international research efforts: inhibiting a family of pro-survival proteins called BCL-2. The solution involved expertise from each collaborator: Professor Huang led research unravelling the basic biology of the protein family; Associate Professors Lessene and Professor Czabotar focused on drug design and discovery; and Professor Roberts led translational and clinical research to establish its effectiveness in patients. They demonstrated that BCL-2 inhibitors had the potential to be exploited as an anti-cancer treatment. Pioneering clinical trials of venetoclax began in Australia in 2011 and saw outstanding results for patients. Some 79 per cent of people involved in two early phase clinical trials reported in 2016 had a promising result to the treatment. Both studies saw remissions in patients with advanced CLL for whom conventional treatment options had been exhausted. The social impacts of this drug will be enduring, benefiting patients and the health system and fuelling further investment and employment in the research sector – basic and translational. In July 2017, the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research completed a landmark deal, selling a part of its royalty rights in venetoclax for up to $US325 million. A portion of this income is being used to enhance and accelerate the discovery of new medicines, ensuring more cutting-edge medical research at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute can be translated. The drug is now undergoing clinical trials to test its effectiveness in treating other types of cancer, with the hope it will benefit more patients in the future.

Britain's Groundwater is amongst its most precious and most threatened resources. Professor Roberts explains: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/oil-on-troubled-waters-the-industrial-legacy-and-britains-groundwaterGroundwater is an important source of drinking water in London and elsewhere, but the legacy of the UK's industrial revolution includes contamination at an extreme and increasingly widely-realised scale. Drawing on research in the English Midlands, the lecture will explore how mining, metal-based manufacturing, and the oil industry have produced an environmental conundrum that is very complex to solve. How can sites that are part of our industrial heritage be prevented from polluting rivers, and poisoning local residents? Who is responsible, and how can the 'clean-up' be tackled?The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/oil-on-troubled-waters-the-industrial-legacy-and-britains-groundwaterGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Drought threatens the globe and water security becomes a top priority for nations. Professor Roberts explains: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-creeping-paralysis-of-droughtWater shortage is an increasingly common challenge to development in southern England, as water is progressively diverted away from supporting ecosystems, and into agri-business, industry and homes. Climate change and population growth appear to be drawing us closer to the edge of an abyss. Drawing on research in the developed world (particularly in Spain and the UK), the lecture will explore the anatomy of severe droughts, and their consequences. Can technology innovation offer realistic solutions to this problem, or will the competing interests of many different stakeholders prevent us from agreeing what needs to be done?The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-creeping-paralysis-of-droughtGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Serious flooding and the water security of the nation's water are Professor Roberts' topics in this lecture: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-next-big-uk-flood-britain-under-waterWhat are the odds that events will conspire to put London under water during the next few years? Are the catastrophic Summer 2007 floods in the English Midlands and the recent events of southeast England harbingers of worse to come, particularly as the climate shifts? Serious flooding poses major challenges to the UK's security, despite changes in the way we try to manage both water and damage. The lecture will review the UK's recent experiences and explore how management and infrastructural improvements are being attempted. Can science, technology and collaboration reduce our vulnerability to floods?The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-next-big-uk-flood-britain-under-waterGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Professor Roberts describes her work with UK police forces: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/a-body-in-the-river-the-application-of-environment-science-in-murderThe bodies of murder victims, whole or in pieces, often end up in rivers or canals. Carolyn Roberts' work as an Expert Witness with UK police forces has applied the principles of hydrology to murder investigations. In these tragic and gruesome settings, environmental science can help to identify where bodies have come from or gone to. Drawing on macabre and fascinating case studies, the lecture will range from particular cases to general principles of tracing bodies, and the application of science in supporting the law. Probably not for those of a nervous disposition, but of guaranteed interest to the curious.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/a-body-in-the-river-the-application-of-environment-science-in-murderGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

What risks should journalists take to report stories? In this week's Feedback, Roger Bolton visits BBC journalists on a training course which aims to prepare them to report from dangerous conflict zones and hostile environments. Listeners have been pondering whether the risks are worth it in order to report the story to them. Roger brings the BBC's Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet together with senior BBC producer Stuart Hughes and Vaughan Smith, founder of the Frontline Club, to discuss the issues. And, after weeks of speculation, Chris Evans was named as the new presenter of Top Gear last week. But some of his 10 million Radio 2 listeners think he's been talking about it far too much in the days since the announcement. Helen Thomas, the editor of The Chris Evans Breakfast Show, answers the listeners. Also this week: "History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon." That was apparently the view of Napoleon Bonaparte. But some Feedback listeners don't agree with the version of Napoleon's life which historian Andrew Roberts delivered in his series on Radio 4. Professor Roberts defends his portrayal of the French Emperor. Producer: Katherine Godfrey. A Whistledown Production for BBC Radio 4.

Host Chris Cella speaks with Author and Historian Gary Roberts on the 150th anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre, an atrocity which claimed the lives of over 150 innocent indians. Men, Women, and Children were mercilessly slain by a 700 man militia organized by Col. John Chivington. We search for clues into the human psyche amongst the scattered and bloodied bodies of those slain. Professor Roberts uses his 50+ years of research to share insight as to how we may avoid such incidents in the future. Hosted and Produced by: Chris Cella Guest: Professor and Author Gary L. Roberts

Northwestern University Kirkland & Ellis Professor of Law, Dorothy E. Roberts makes her third visit to The Context of White Supremacy. Professor Roberts authored Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and The Meaning of Liberty (1997) & Shattered Bonds: The Color of Child Welfare (2004). We'll examine her exemplary new publication, Fatal Invention: How Science, Politics, and Big Business Re-create Race in the Twenty-first Century (2011). Professor Roberts asserts that the concept of Race is frequently disguised as a biological certainty. Nothing could be further from the truth. We'll discuss how the Human Genome Project, and ethno-specific medicine continues the long tradition of reifying the false concept of Race. RACE = RACISM = WHITE SUPREMACY.

Author and scholar Dorothy Roberts returns to The Context of White Supremacy. One of the first guests to appear on The C.O.W.S., Professor Roberts was last with us to discuss her seminal work, Killing The Black Body - which examines the numerous White Supremacist attacks against black female reproductive rights. During our previous exchange with Professor Roberts, she plugged one her other magnificent works, Shattered Bonds: The Color Of Child Welfare. This text is a blistering well documented indictment of the child welfare system in the U.S. and how it saturated with anti-black Racism that wreaks havoc on black children and attempted parents. We'll discuss adoption of black children by White parents, foster care placements, and the easy termination of black parental rights.
