How should Christian faith shape work in an era of pluralism, fear, and systemic inequality? Sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund (Rice University) is presenting new insights for faith at work through data, theology, and lived experience. "People love to talk about individual ethics … but what was really hard for them to think about was, what would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" In this episode, Ecklund joins Mark Labberton to reflect on moving from individual morality toward systemic responsibility, dignity, and other-centred Christian witness at work. Together they discuss faith and work, the gender and race gaps created by systemic injustice, fear and power, religious diversity, rest and human limits, gender and racial marginalization, and the cost of a credible Christian witness. Episode Highlights "People love to talk about individual ethics." "What would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" "People are much more apt to take us seriously if we first take them seriously." "Suppression of faith in particular is not the answer." "God is God and I am not."

Before there was the Chinese Exclusion Act, there was the Page Act. Passed in 1875 amid growing anti-Chinese sentiment in the 19th century, the Page Act was one of the first national immigration laws in the United States. It targeted several categories of people, including contract laborers from Asia, women brought in for sex work and certain convicted criminals. In practice, however, it functioned mainly to restrict Chinese and other Asian women from entering the country.“It had enormous implications for the issues of race, gender and labor in U.S. immigration history and Asian American history,” says UC Berkeley history professor Hidetaka Hirota, who moderated a campus discussion in April to mark the Page Act's 150th anniversary.In this Berkeley Talks episode, a panel of Berkeley scholars unpack how the Page Act helped institutionalize racially targeted exclusion and gendered surveillance at the border, and how it laid the groundwork for the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and later immigration laws. They also challenge the enduring myth of the “white bootstrapping ethnic,” supposedly living “the right way” without state support, showing instead how immigration and welfare regimes were structured to advantage European newcomers while systematically excluding Asians and other people of color.Panelists include Catherine Ceniza Choy, professor of ethnic studies; Cybelle Fox, professor of sociology; Leti Volpp, professor of law; and Hidetaka Hirota, associate professor of history, who moderated the conversation. The event, which took place on April 23, was hosted by Berkeley's Social Science Matrix and was co-sponsored by the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative, the Department of Sociology, the Department of History, the Department of Ethnic Studies, the Asian American Research Center and the Center for Race and Gender.Watch a video of the discussion.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-talks).Music by HoliznaCC0.Photo from the National Archives.

Entangled Alliances is a reinterpretation of the American Revolution through analysis of diplomacy in the emerging United States during decades of hemispheric transformation. Ronald Angelo Johnson brings to light the fascinating story of American patriots and rebels from Saint-Domingue (later Haiti) allying against European tyranny. The American Revolution occurred between two of the greatest achievements in diplomacy of the eighteenth century: the peace treaties at Paris in 1763 and 1783. In Entangled Alliances: Racialized Freedom and Atlantic Diplomacy During the American Revolution (Cornell UP, 2025), Johnson draws on original multilingual sources to offer readers fresh, lively stories in a timely study. While modern understandings of freedom are often linked to the US Declaration of Independence, Johnson argues that the desire of Black Atlantic inhabitants for liberty and their will to resist slavery predated the fateful standoff between minutemen and redcoats at Lexington and Concord. Entangled Alliances is a US history of the American Revolution, fusing the search for freedom by Black and white founders in the United States and Saint-Domingue into a coherent story of collective resistance during the most explosive twenty-year period of the eighteenth century.

This month's episode offers a fresh perspective on an old debate. Jettisoning outdated modes of analysis that emphasize race vs. class, guest Rudi Batzell illuminates the materialist underpinnings of racialized working-class politics in the U.S. and British empires. Employing a transnational approach, Batzell shows, for example, how land reform in Ireland helped set the British labor movement on a trajectory towards more inclusive unionism, while, in the U.S., northern industrialists' ability to recruit landless African Americans from the U.S. south undermined working-class solidarity in the U.S. and lay the foundation for the more narrow craft unionism of the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Later, we discuss the anti-immigrant and whites-only policies of labor unions in the U.S., Australia, and South Africa, wrestling with the white working-class movement to restrict immigration. The history presented here contains some hard truths about the difficulties of organizing across fractured working-classes, while also making the case for reckoning with this history as a necessary precondition for building a more equitable and just world.

Racism does not always follow the patterns of aggressive behaviour, or outright attempts to violate the human rights and equality of racialized people. A study of the experiences of first- and second-generation Haitian and Jamaican Canadians sheds light on a form of racial exclusion sociologist Dr. Karine Coen-Sanchez calls polite racism. She joins us on our podcast today.

This past summer Uber drivers in Victoria joined UFCW 1518 to become the first platform workers in Canada to formally unionize. And Amazon warehouse workers in Delta won union certification with Unifor Local 114, becoming the second Amazon facility in Canada to unionize and only the third in North America. We talk with Véronique Sioufi about what enabled these organizing victories, and what barriers this kind of worker organizing faces. Véronique Sioufi is racial equity researcher and policy analyst at the B.C. Society for Policy Solutions.

Good Works estimates that a staggering $280 billion in estate wealth is expected to flow into Canadian charities. That's not a number small nonprofits can afford to overlook. Planned giving doesn't have to be exclusive, intimidating, or tax-code-heavy. In this episode, we dive into how small nonprofits can approach planned giving in a way that's equitable, inclusive, and deeply aligned with community values. We're joined by Chantelle Ohrling, a thought leader in both the planned giving and Community-Centric Fundraising spaces. She is the Planned Giving Officer at Ecojustice, is the Communications Chair for the Greater Vancouver Chapter of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners and contributes her voice to the Black Canadian Fundraisers Collective and Hogan's Alley Society. Chantelle also holds a certification in Legacy Giving Psychology from the Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy and received the 2023 Birgit Smith Burton R.I.S.E. Award. Chantelle brings not just technical expertise, but a fierce commitment to justice, equity, and community-led philanthropy. Planned Giving and Community-Centric Fundraising – Episode Highlights 1. Planned giving is not just for the ultra-wealthy. Many transformational legacy gifts come from long-time supporters who aren't high-dollar donors. A $50-a-year donor who volunteers, reads the newsletter, and shows up for events? They might be your next million-dollar legacy gift. 2. Racialized communities are generous and underserved. Research shows Black and racialized communities are among the most generous in Canada. The issue isn't willingness: it's access, representation, and trust. Planned giving strategies must meet these communities where they are. 3. Planned giving can close the racial wealth gap. It's not just a funding strategy, it's also a justice strategy. Promoting estate planning in underserved communities supports financial literacy, generational wealth-building, and autonomy over where wealth flows after death. 4. Values-led storytelling beats tax talk. Don't lead with tax benefits. Lead with stories. Tell donors about people like them who've left a legacy that aligns with their values. Planned giving is emotional, not transactional. 5. Don't silo legacy giving into major gifts. Some of the largest bequests come from people who've never made a major gift in their lifetime. That's why Chantelle doesn't segment her messaging by giving levels—she hand-signs 700 newsletters if she has to. Resources and Links Read more from Chantelle on the CCF Hub Read Chantelle's piece on The Philanthropist Connect with our host, Maria Rio Support our show.

The Carceral City: Slavery and the Making of Mass Incarceration in New Orleans, 1803-1930 (UNC Press, 2024) reveals that Americans often assume that slave societies had little use for prisons and police because slaveholders only ever inflicted violence directly or through overseers. Mustering tens of thousands of previously overlooked arrest and prison records, John K. Bardes demonstrates the opposite: in parts of the South, enslaved and free people were jailed at astronomical rates. Slaveholders were deeply reliant on coercive state action. Authorities built massive slave prisons and devised specialized slave penal systems to maintain control and maximize profit. Indeed, in New Orleans—for most of the past half-century, the city with the highest incarceration rate in the United States—enslaved people were jailed at higher rates during the antebellum era than are Black residents today. Moreover, some slave prisons remained in use well after Emancipation: in these forgotten institutions lie the hidden origins of state violence under Jim Crow. With powerful and evocative prose, Bardes boldly reinterprets relations between slavery and prison development in American history. Racialized policing and mass incarceration are among the gravest moral crises of our age, but they are not new: slavery, the prison, and race are deeply interwoven into the history of American governance. Kishauna Soljour is an Assistant Professor of Public Humanities at San Diego State University.

The Carceral City: Slavery and the Making of Mass Incarceration in New Orleans, 1803-1930 (UNC Press, 2024) reveals that Americans often assume that slave societies had little use for prisons and police because slaveholders only ever inflicted violence directly or through overseers. Mustering tens of thousands of previously overlooked arrest and prison records, John K. Bardes demonstrates the opposite: in parts of the South, enslaved and free people were jailed at astronomical rates. Slaveholders were deeply reliant on coercive state action.

"A Racialized History" explores the concept of race from a theological perspective, particularly through the lens of the Bible. It argues that history has a racial component and that the Bible provides the necessary data to understand this racialized interpretation. The document emphasizes the duality in humanity as seen in the Bible, dividing people into two groups: the saved and the unsaved. The saved are those who have accepted Jesus Christ and are spiritually reborn, while the unsaved live according to the sinful patterns of the world and are separated from God.The document further explains that the Bible's understanding of race is distinct from the worldly view. It describes the saved as a new race of spiritually mature individuals who live in a different reality, set apart for God's purposes. In contrast, the unsaved are bound by the law and live in the flesh, influenced by the world's systems and Satan's deception. The document concludes that there are only two possible races: those who live according to the truths of Scripture and those who do not.

Authors Jackelyn Hwang and Iris Zhang discuss the article, "The Reign of Racialized Residential Sorting: Gentrification and Residential Mobility in the Twenty-First Century," published in the June 2025 issue of City & Community.

Sky-high rents, low vacancy rates and fierce competition for scarce homes have become the grim but familiar picture of housing in the Vancouver area. But this housing crisis does not affect us all equally. A new research project by the Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives will dig deep into how the crisis impacts immigrants, and racialized and Indigenous people. We speak with researcher Véronique Sioufi.

Dr. Chika Stacy Oriuwa is an accomplished doctor and poet – but in 2016 she made headlines for something else. In her medical school class at the University of Toronto, she was the only Black student. She went on to become the first Black woman named sole valedictorian of the department. Since then, Dr. Oriuwa has taken up the work of creating opportunities for other racialized people in medicine. She tells Piya Chattopadhyay about her journey to becoming a doctor and finding her voice as explored in her new memoir Unlike the Rest: A Doctor's Story.

“People of color have endured traumatic histories and almost daily assaults on their dignity.” The answer is not in “just getting over it,” or to simply “pray more,” and definitely not in denial or venting in anger/violence. We collectively need to recognize and acknowledge racial trauma and pursue active healing corporately. In fact, all of us, people of color and white people carry the history of racial trauma in our bodies, and it is literally passed on through our DNA through generations, cit.

A new investigation into police use of tasers follows how they've been used specifically in response to 911 mental health calls. The research shows that they can cause death as well as long term harm, and also that they are deployed disproportionately against Black people.

Racialized disparities continue to persist in the United States and are unlikely to be effectively alleviated by the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection. A recent book provides a functional analysis linking disparate forms of oppression and makes the case that structural racism will be more effectively dismantled by contesting ongoing settler colonization and supporting the right of all peoples to self-determination.

On our podcast, we've talked a lot about sexuality related to people who identify as female, but today we are focusing on those who identify as male. Societal gender roles not only impact females, but everyone else. Reece Malone and Kara discuss the way that the buzz phrase “toxic masculinity” affects those who identify as male and the way their female partners perpetuate this culture. Reece discusses topics brought into this sex therapy practice and how many grown men don't know how to access their emotions as they have been told to shut them off for so long. This messaging affects the way they show up in relationships and their sexual lives. Listen to the way Kara and Reece unpack these narratives together.  Reece Malone is a sexologist, sex therapist and sexuality educator. He is an associate professor at Antioch University Seattle and a certified sexuality educator supervisor through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists.  He provides program and policy consultation and service provider training in healthcare, education, social services and corporate sectors.
