Podcasts about race and ethnicity

Interviewee: Bassel Shanab, BS is a fourth-year medical student at the Yale School of Medicine.  Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science sits down with Bassel Shanab (Yale School of Medicine), co-first author of “The Intersection of Disability, Race, Ethnicity, and Financial Background on Food Insecurity Among Medical Students,” part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. We move beyond prevalence rates to the lived realities behind them—and why hunger so often hides in plain sight in elite training environments. Bassel shares the personal experiences that shaped his questions, the multi-institutional data that sharpened the answers, and the practical moves any school can make now: screen routinely, get cost-of-living estimates right, normalize help-seeking, and invest in evidence-based campus supports. Along the way, we talk flourishing (not just “fixing”), student-led research networks, and why transparency beats stigma every time. Whether you're a dean, DRP, faculty member, or student, this conversation offers a humane roadmap from surviving to thriving. Links to the open-access article, and related tools are in the show notes.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports West Point disbands student clubs following Trump's DEI order.

This week's Real Talk question asks: how important are names? YaYa and TRUTH switch gears for a bit of celebrity chit-chat, diving into the drama surrounding country artist Collin Obina Chibueze, better known by his stage name, “Shaboozey.” The Nigerian-American performer's stage name is essentially a mispronunciation of his family's native Igbo surname, which means “God is ruler, God is king.” After his name was used as a running gag at the 2024 Country Music Awards, the interwebz was in an uproar! With many different opinions about the implications of  pronouncing and mispronouncing of ethnic names—-  the real talk question of this week asks.. just  how important are names? Religious texts across beliefs have a thing with names, with The Bible mentioning over a dozen names of God, lists names in genealogies, and has characters that  meaningfully change names in both the old and New Testament— they gotta count for something.  Then for the Moon reading,  YaYa is starting a series preparing for the winter solstice ways we can fortify our body, minds and sprit for the darker days ahead.

In this week's episode we'll discuss new insights on the role of GM-CSF in establishing immune memory. The authors propose that the coordination of opposing immune memory programs, driven by GM-CSF, may be essential to efficient, yet controlled, innate immune responses. After that: Interleukin-1 inhibition in TTP. Researchers explore the potential of recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist, anakinra, in a murine model of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura—an uncommon but potentially fatal disorder with limited therapeutic options. Finally, we'll learn about CAR T-cell therapy outcomes by race and ethnicity in large B-cell lymphoma. Non-Hispanic Black patients had lower rates of response and progression-free survival in axi-cel clinical trials and real-world data, raising awareness and giving further insights into potential inequitable access to care.Featured Articles:GM-CSF receptor expression determines opposing innate memory phenotypes at different stages of myelopoiesis Mortality, cardiac and cerebral damage reduction by IL-1 inhibition in a murine model of TTP Real-World and Clinical Trial Outcomes in Large B-cell Lymphoma with Axicabtagene Ciloleucel Across Race and Ethnicity

AP correspondent Jackie Quinn reports some ethnic communities in the U.S. are criticizing changes to Census Bureau categories.

Race and ethnicity are often used interchangeably, but they hold distinct meanings. People's rich and varied backgrounds contribute to the vibrant tapestry of global culture, molding traditions, customs, and artistic expressions.  Knowing the difference between race and ethnicity and where they overlap is essential for celebrating diversity and creating an inclusive society.  Learn what those distinctions are and how you can embrace your unique background and those of others.

The Biden administration is changing the way federal agencies collect data on race and ethnicity. The new policy combines the race and ethnicity questions into one.

On March 28, 2024, the US Census Bureau published a news release that they have issued updated standards for maintaining, collecting and presenting race and ethnicity data. Because so many nonprofit and public sector organizations base their collection of race and ethnicity data on US Census standards, these changes will likely have far-reaching effects, particularly for those organizations who receive federal funding to provide programs and services. In this episode, Drew provides a quick summary of the new US Census updates and how you might implement changes in your data collection processes to be consistent with the new standards. You can also read a blog post on this topic on the website. View the podcast and show notes at www.commongooddata.com/podcast Please subscribe, rate and review.

In our latest episode, we interview Erin Loos Cutraro, the founder and CEO of She Should Run, a nonprofit dedicated to encouraging women to run for office - it's so needed! Did you know that women still hold less than 30% of all elected offices across the federal, state, and local level, and the numbers are even lower when looking at women from underrepresented communities? Black women comprise less than 6% of officeholders in Congress, statewide elective executive offices, and state legislatures; only 7.9% of all women state legislators identify as Latina; and, roughly 0.23 percent of U.S elected officials identify as LGBTQIA+. Women are still less likely than men to have thought about running for office or to express interest in running for office in the future. Women are less likely to have opted into leadership roles from a young age. In fact, few of us– less than 2%– grow up with the dream to run for office one day. There's lots of work to do!Before the interview, we chat about the movie American Fiction and how the Black American experience is portrayed in media. [00:02:22] Felicia and Rachel discuss the movie American Fiction.[00:10:50] Interview with Erin.[00:11:15] Origin story and childhood upbringing.[00:18:34] Challenges for women candidates.[00:22:42] Running for office aspirations.[00:23:46] Women in political roles.[00:29:35] Nonpartisan space and misconceptions.[00:33:13] Running for public office journey.[00:36:17] Women's surge after 2016 election.[00:41:17] A different political climate.[00:45:35] Overcoming political exhaustion and paralysis.[00:49:12] Finding women who aren't looking.[00:53:12] The importance of diverse opinions.[00:57:28] Future goals and hopes.[01:00:49] The opportunity in Gen Z. Links mentioned:https://sheshouldrun.orghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/erinlooscutraro Visit us at https://shegeeksout.com to stay up to date on all the ways you can make the workplace work for everyone!

Host: Leah Murray In 2030, the U.S. Census is changing the way we count people. For the record, we’ve been counting people in this country since 1790 since we are constitutionally required to do so, but how we do it is left to the bureaucrats at the Census Bureau to decide. Mallory Bateman, Director of Demographic Research at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, joins Leah to discuss what this change would mean for their work with studying demographics.

The subject of her research is a broadly understood philosophy of science, with particular emphasis on philosophy of medicine, philosophy of neurosciences and philosophy of psychology. She explores connections between these areas and questions in bioethics, epistemology, ontology, and methodology. Her current focus is on the conceptualization and use of ethnoracial categories in medicine.   In this episode, we first talk about cultural neuroscience. We then get into the concepts of race and ethnicity, their scientific validity, the idea of racialization, and studying differences between human populations. We discuss the consequences of racialized medical information, and what a postracial medicine could look like. Finally, we talk about empathy in human-robot interactions. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Ibram X. Kendi is a National Book Award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author who has dedicated his life to educating all Americans, from grade school to adults, on the unvarnished history of the United States. His latest release, Barracoon: Adapted for Young Readers, is a middle-grade offering for the critically acclaimed Barracoon: The Story of the Last “Black Cargo,” written by the legendary writer, anthropologist and folklorist, Zora Neale Hurston. The book tells the story of Cudjo Lewis, one of the last-known survivors of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade who shared his story with Hurston in 1927. Kendi tells I SEE U that it's more important than ever for young people to understand slavery and its origins, particularly when book bans targeting writers of color are on the rise. Join us as I SEE U travels to the downtown Houston Public Library where host Eddie Robinson chats unguarded with one of the most sought-after historians in the country, Ibram X. Kendi. The author of the award-winning Stamped From the Beginning — now a Netflix documentary — chronicles the creation of racist ideas and myths which were used to codify discriminatory policies that have affected inequalities in everything from health to wealth in America.

Race. According to researchers, it's the #1 characteristic that informs the presence of environmental injustice. However, I've noticed that in the literature and in the discourse around environmental justice, many of us are not willing to explicitly state WHO is being treated unfairly. We do not say “Black” or “Indigenous” or whoever else. Instead, I see phrases like “communities of color” or “minorities” or “underserved populations”. We need to change that. We need to change our language around justice so we let people know exactly who we are talking about when we talk about them. On this episode, I suggest that we change how we talk about these groups of people. Let's be precise and direct and deliberate, so that there is no confusion. Let's talk about it!

This episode discusses four MMWR reports. First, when trying to understand who gets diabetes and heart disease, looking at traditional categories of race and ethnicity doesn't tell the whole story. Second, antivirals, which are known to reduce the risk of severe COVID-19, are underused. Third, deaths among U.S. citizens who had cosmetic surgery in the Dominican Republic were mostly due to preventable conditions. Finally, poor infection control at a South Florida cosmetic surgery clinic most likely led to infections in nine states.

"We didn't invent race, so I don't know where we got the card from." Michael Harriot dives deep into some widely-held beliefs that white people have about race and identity. Michael Harriot addresses white concepts like race-baiting, playing the "race card," Black people playing the "victim," and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
