Novelist Jacinda Townsend joins co-hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss Joe Biden's stubbornly low poll numbers among Democrats, which persist despite his legislative accomplishments. Townsend talks about the administration's struggles to communicate its goals and achievements and explains why Biden's policy decisions—past and present—have often disappointed Black and younger voters. Townsend reads from her novel Mother Country and reflects on the aftermath of the Biden administration's plan to forgive student debt.

From June 3, 2020: Dr. Rashawn Ray is a David M. Rubenstein fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He's also an associate professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he directs the Lab for Applied Social Science Research (LASSR). He is a scholar of, among other things, police-civilian relations and has done a lot of work on police-involved killings. He joined Benjamin Wittes to discuss the mechanisms of police violence, what causes it, what can be done to address it and reduce it, and the role of race in this problem. They talked about police unions, implicit bias, the difference between legality and morality in police shootings and what policy levers are available to bring an end to the rash of police killings.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV Season 3 Episode 5 Episode Title: Policing in America Guest: Dr. Rashawn Ray Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives. Show Summary: “If we solve the statistics, we will solve what is happening with policing the scene. To do that, we have to determine the cultural manifestations of racism and of the black threat.” People don't realize that when we talk about policing in America, it goes beyond protecting specific turfs and areas. To understand what it truly meant, you must go deep into the history, origin, and background of law enforcement. And in this episode, we welcome Dr. Rashawn Ray to the guest chair as he discusses the culture and law enforcement practices that lead to police brutality. Dr. Rashawn earned all his sociology degrees and has published over 50 books, articles, chapters, and nearly 20 op-eds. He also shares his extensive research and work on liberation for oppressed people, particularly for Black and Brown people, and the criminalization effect. Listen closely as we talk about the in-depth analysis of the efficacy of body cameras, the determinants of police brutality, and police misconduct payouts to understand better the current state of America's policing. There are so many factors we need to address when it comes to the structure and improvement of policing institutions. Learn what we need to solve racism in connection to civilian payout and police misconduct in the words of Dr. Rashawn. 3 Exceptional Highlights: The roots of law enforcement in the United States go back to slave patrols, groups of people who would round up black people fleeing plantations who were escaping their enslavement. Overwhelmingly, it is white people who created the social institution and maintained and enforced the social institution. And so when we think about those origins, that's important. There were 87% enslaved black people. And even the free black people didn't mean they were free. Even today, it is still valid that black people haven't fully reached liberation. Show Highlights: The history of convict leasing 3:55 Dr. Rashawn Ray Convict Leasing was what happened after slavery formally ended. So we're talking about the late 1800s and early 1900s. It became prominent and known as Slavery by Another Name, where black people were arrested and accosted for minor infractions. Interestingly, some of the same sorts of things that we hear today. The efficacy of body cameras and the determinants of police brutality 21:03 Dr. Rashawn Ray There's overwhelming agreement on body-worn cameras, implicit bias training, the importance of police officers being held accountable for their behaviour, and the need to deal with the law enforcement Bill of Rights. It gives police officers the ability to commit crimes in their personal or professional lives and not be held accountable for them like the general public. The prominent movement of police defunding 28:12 Dr. Rashawn Ray So two points here, defunding the police means reallocating funding, and it does not mean obliterating the system. You know, it does not mean ending law enforcement, as we know, and some people think we should abolish policing. 33:20 Dr. Rashawn Ray I think all of those matter; when we take an evidence-based, market-driven approach, we get to the best solution for a city or a police department and then help them to move forward in a way that is healthy and beneficial for everyone.

Sociology professor Rashawn Ray joins the program to discuss the latest mass shooting targeting African-Americans in Buffalo, and what changes are necessary to prevent them in the future. Then, columnists Karen Dumas and Greg Bowens join the show to discuss the trauma faced in communities following these incidents and what is needed to reduce racially motivated shootings in the future.
Desistance, the decision to abandon criminal behavior, is one of the great puzzles in criminal justice policy. Shawn D. Bushway of the RAND Corporation argues that desistance depends on achieving a new, noncriminal, pro-social identity, which is often a long and arduous process supported by empirical evidence. This rebroadcast of our December 14 event contains a discussion moderated by Brent on Dr. Bushway's https://www.aei.org/research-products/report/reentry-desistance-and-identity-achievement/ (report) “Reentry, desistance, and identity achievement.” The event features remarks from Dr. Bushway, followed by comments from Rashawn Ray of the Brookings Institution, Bret Bucklen of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, and Julio Medina of Exodus Transitional Community.

Today I welcome sociologist Rashawn Ray back to COVIDCalls! Rashawn Ray is a David M. Rubenstein Fellow at The Brookings Institution. He is also an Associate Professor of Sociology and Executive Director of the Lab for Applied Social Science Research (LASSR) at the University of Maryland, College Park. Recently, Ray published the book How Families Matter: Simply Complicated Intersections of Race, Gender, and Work (with Pamela Braboy Jackson) and another edition of Race and Ethnic Relations in the 21st Century: History, Theory, Institutions, and Policy.
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland has been one of the most prominent voices in Congress speaking about Jan. 6 and the aftermath of the insurrection. He has a uniquely personal relationship with the violence that day: he lost his son shortly before the riot, and went on to serve both as an impeachment manager prosecuting the second impeachment of Donald Trump, and as a member of the House select committee on Jan. 6, on which he still sits. On February 15, the Brookings Institution welcomed Representative Raskin to discuss his new book, “Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy.” For this special episode of the Lawfare Podcast, we're bringing you audio of the event. First, you'll hear Brookings President John R. Allen in conversation with Rep. Raskin. Then, you'll hear a panel of Brookings scholars discuss Jan. 6 and Rep. Raskin's reflections. Brookings senior fellow Sarah Binder moderated a discussion with Brookings senior fellows Fiona Hill, Rashawn Ray, Molly Reynolds, and Brookings fellow Quinta Jurecic.

Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade, Boston Globe opinion writer, and Brookings Institution sociologist Dr. Rashawn Ray react to the Rittenhouse verdict.
Seventy percent of people report that they have done something abusive to someone else online, and a majority report being cyberbullied themselves. Nearly 90 percent of teenagers report witnessing online bullying. In a new report published by Brookings, “Bystander intervention on social media: Examining cyberbullying and reactions to systemic racism,” researchers examine the cyberbullying phenomenon, especially its racial aspect, and the strategies onlookers use to intervene. On this episode, two report authors discuss their findings: Rashawn Ray, senior fellow in Governance Studies at Brookings and a professor of sociology and executive director of the Lab for Applied Social Science Research at the University of Maryland; and Melissa Brown, assistant professor in the Department of Communication at Santa Clara University. Also on this episode, Governance Studies Senior Fellow Molly Reynolds explains why Democratic leaders in Congress are using reconciliation to try to pass President Biden's legislative priorities, and why that process can be so difficult to use to achieve policy goals.

Download TranscriptResearchTalk has partnered again with the Odum Institute to co-host the 18th Annual Qualitative Research Summer Intensive (July 26–August 6, 2021). This interdisciplinary event features 18 online courses on important topics in qualitative inquiry taught by leading scholars in the field. In this episode, we spoke with three scholars who will be teaching courses addressing issues of social justice at this year's Intensive: Keon Gilbert, Rashawn Ray, and Kelly Jackson. Each course aims to use qualitative inquiry as a foundation for designing programs and policies to inform social change and social justice efforts. Dr. Jackson's course, Qualitative Research with Historically Oppressed Populations: Using Cultural Attunement across the Research Lifecycle, will explore how qualitative researchers can conceive and implement meaningful research that matters to the lives of individuals, families, and communities from historically oppressed racial and ethnic groups. Dr. Gilbert's course, Photovoice: Powerful Images that Communicate Current Realities to Direct Social Change, presents an overview of photovoice as a participatory qualitative method that provides a way for community members to take and share photographs that express the strengths and needs of their community. Dr. Ray's course, Using Qualitative Inquiry to Contribute to Social Justice, explores how we can use qualitative research via stories, first-person accounts, in-depth interviews, content analysis, and observations to draw attention to underlying mechanisms that define social problems. A course co-taught by Dr. Ray and Dr. Gilbert, Learning from Marginalized Voices in Community-based Participatory Research, provides researchers with principles and tools to conduct qualitative-focused community-based participatory research.

This critical conversation features Dr. Rashawn Ray, a fellow at The Brookings Institution, and a Sociology Professor and the Executive Director of the Lab for Applied Social Science Research at the University of Maryland. In this episode, we discuss some of the public health issues stemming from racism. Dr. Ray also presents some tangible solutions to America's policing crisis, including abolishing qualified immunity, implementing insurance policies and malpractice liability for individual officers, and providing officers with housing subsidies to live in or around the communities they patrol.
The history of policing in America can help us understand the complicated consequences of avoiding reform. Yet, the discussion over how policing should evolve, especially in communities of color, remains tense and partisan. On this week's State of Play will get history, context, and proposed solutions from interviews with historian and Associate Professor of History, Dr. Elizabeth Hinton; renowned police and diversity expert and former Deputy Sheriff, Dr. Lorenzo Boyd; Ph.D. candidate and community policing expert, DeAnza Cook; and Brookings Institution Fellow, Dr. Rashawn Ray, who will offer guidance on how we move from confrontations to positive outcomes.
In 2016 Shase Howse was standing on his front porch in Cleveland, Ohio, talking to him Mom on the phone. That's when he was brutally assaulted by plain clothes police officers. But it was Shase who was arrested, and when all the charges were later dismissed, he moved to sue the officers involved. Those officers were granted qualified immunity. In episode five, Ben and Aloe speak to Brookings Insitution fellow Rashawn Ray about how police misconduct is currently bankrupting cities, and his solution for ending qualified immunity.

For decades, the term “Critical Race Theory” was known only to law professors and historians, but lately, it's been all over the news. CRT was first introduced more than 40 years ago by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw and Richard Delgado. The theory holds, basically, that racism is not simply a matter of inter-personal animus. Rather, it's also a social construct, embedded systemically in institutions, and advanced in public policies. Last fall, the Trump Administration banned diversity training in government agencies and in the military. And when some school systems began incorporating resources like the New York Times1619 Project in their history curriculums, Republican lawmakers in statehouses and in Congress began drafting and passing legislation to ban the teaching of CRT in schools. Today on Midday, a conversation about Critical Race Theory and an examination of why it's become the latest flashpoint in the culture wars. Tom's first guest is Congressman Andy Harris, who represents Maryland's first district. He is one of the 36 House Republicans who are sponsors of a House Resolution that would disallow Critical Race Theory from being taught in K-12 classrooms. Later in the program, Tom is joined by Dr. Rashawn Ray, the coordinator of the Critical Race Initiative in the Department of Sociology at the University of MD, and a Rubinstein fellow at The Brookings Institution. We're also joined by Charles Fain Lehman, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and a critic of CRT's inclusion into US public school curriculums. All our guests today joined us on Zoom.

On the anniversary of George Floyd's murder by police officer Derek Chauvin, questions remain about the emerging role of technology in the criminal justice process. Bystanders like Darnella Frazier, the teenager who recorded the death of Mr. Floyd on her smartphone, are now empowered to film police officers engaged in egregious and potentially unlawful acts. And footage from police body cameras can provide the public an opportunity to view violent incidents with their own eyes. In this episode, host Nicol Turner Lee speaks with Brookings scholars Rashawn Ray and Makada Henry-Nickie, and Keesha Middlemass, Associate Professor in Political Science at Howard University, about the benefits, risks, and limitations of technology in the criminal justice process.

It's been a year since the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and there have been a lot of police reform efforts since then. A lot of them have come to nothing, but some of them have been very productive—at the state level, in certain cities and even, to a certain extent, at the federal level. To discuss the police reform successes and failures of the last year, Benjamin Wittes sat down with Rashawn Ray, a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland and the David M. Rubenstein Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, who has studied police violence issues extensively and has become a prominent voice on the subject of police reform. They talked about what has worked, how close we are to federal legislation on the subject and what the holdups are, which states have made progress and how, which states haven't moved the ball and what success over the next year might look like.

In this episode of "Technically Human," I talk to Dr. Rashawn Ray and Dr. Nicol Turner Lee, both Fellows at the Brookings Institution, about race, tech, policing, and the digital divide. We talk about the role of video technology and social media in police accountability, the dangers of surveillance technologies developed in Silicon Valley when deployed in policing, and the long history--and the consequences--of the digital divide in the context of social equity. Dr. Rashawn Ray, a David M. Rubenstein Fellow in Governance Studies at The Brookings Institution, is Professor of Sociology and Executive Director of the Lab for Applied Social Science Research (LASSR) at the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Ray has published over 50 books, articles, and book chapters, and roughly 50 op-eds. Recently, Dr. Ray published How Families Matter: Simply Complicated Intersections of Race, Gender, and Work (with Pamela Braboy Jackson) and another edition of Race and Ethnic Relations in the 21st Century: History, Theory, Institutions, and Policy, which has been adopted nearly 40 times in college courses. Ray has written for the Washington Post, New York Times, Newsweek, Business Insider, Huffington Post, and NBC News. Dr. Nicol Turner Lee is a senior fellow in Governance Studies, the director of the Center for Technology Innovation, and the Co-Editor-In-Chief of TechTank. Dr. Turner Lee researches public policy designed to enable equitable access to technology across the U.S. and to harness its power to create change in communities across the world. Dr. Turner Lee has been cited in the New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Communications Daily, Multichannel News, and Washington Informer. She can also be seen or heard on NPR, NBC News, ABC, and more, she has testified before Congress, and she is Chair of the Telecommunications Policy Research Conference (TPRC), which is committed to joining policymakers and academics around significant tech policy issues.

A discussion on criminal justice reform with Rashawn Ray, a David M. Rubenstein Fellow in Governance Studies at Brookings, and Brent Orrell, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, who led the Brookings-AEI Working Group on Criminal Justice Reform. The working group issued the report “A better path forward for criminal justice,” featuring essays by more than a dozen experts offering a range of research-grounded policy analysis and ideas to move the criminal justice system toward a more humane and effective footing. Also, Mark Muro, senior fellow in the Metropolitan Policy Program, offers his perspective on why the American Rescue Plan’s funding for state and local governments supports both innovative recovery solutions but also local discretion, as the case of Indiana demonstrates.

In this hour, Stephen Henderson talks about a new report by Brookings that looks specifically at the racial disparities that have made the COVID-19 pandemic so much worse here in Detroit. Michael Rafferty and Dr. Rashawn Ray weigh in and then Dr. Ray sticks around to talk about America's legacy of racism following comments about that legacy from Sen. Tim Scott last week.
In this episode, I talk to Jeff Ryan, author of Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America. We discuss gaming culture, the gender dynamics of the gaming community, and Jeff defines the key to gaming, in what he calls "the ludology of play." Jeff Ryan is the author of A MOUSE DIVIDED: HOW UB IWERKS BECAME FORGOTTEN...AND WALT DISNEY BECAME UNCLE WALT and SUPER MARIO: HOW NINTENDO CONQUERED AMERICA.

He lives in Bloomfield, NJ, with his wife and two daughters. A lifelong gamer, he has reviewed over 500 video games and covered four console launches as the games editor for Katrillion, a popular dotcom-era news and entertainment Web site. He swears his books were not undertaken to write off family vacations to Orlando on his taxes. A note on today’s episode: In recording this episode of “Technically Human,” our human interlocutors encountered some technical interference! None of this at all alters the brilliance of Jeff’s comments. Some exciting news: We are launching a series of live events on ethics and technology, scheduled for the next few weeks, including an important and urgent conversation with Dr. Rashawn Ray on race, policing, and tech, a screening of the new documentary, Coded Bias, followed by a Q and A with the director, Shalini Kantayya, and a Fireside chat with former CIA agent and former NSA advisor to Joe Biden, Yaël Eisenstat, who, in the wake of the 2016 election, oversaw Facebook’s Global Elections Integrity Operations, and has since become one of facebook’s leading critics.

Derek Chauvin has been found guilty of the murder of George Floyd. But whatever bittersweet feelings the rare outcome elicited were short-lived, since instances of police brutality compound almost daily. There’s no debate: Policing is broken in America. But how do we fix it?To answer that question, Jane brings together a round table to debate solutions ranging from modernizing training, stronger ties between police misconduct and financial culpability, and divesting from policing to invest in community-based services.Joining Jane is Randy Shrewsberry, a former police officer and the executive director of the Institute for Criminal Justice Training Reform; Rashawn Ray, a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland and a David M. Rubenstein fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution; and Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, a leader in the Movement for Black Lives and the co-executive director of the Highlander Research and Education Center in Tennessee.Mentioned in this episode:The George Floyd Justice in Policing bill of 2021 and the Breathe Act proposalFrom The New York Times Magazine: “Police Reform Is Necessary. But How Do We Do It?”“Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America” by Jill Leovy
Join Dr. Rashawn Ray and me as we discuss how we actually get police reform. Will the conviction of Derek Chauvin bring reform? How do we not just hold police officers responsible but the policing system itself accountable? If we cant pull the rotten tree of policing up at the roots, how do we begin to trim its rotten branches?
This week on The Tent, Daniella and Jesse react to the conclusion of the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who murdered George Floyd last May.

Will the guilty verdict for Derek Chauvin's murder of George Floyd be just a single blip of accountability in the longer history of police violence, or will it be a real inflection point to galvanize change? Rashawn Ray speaks to the significance of Chauvin's trial, the fractured state of police-community relations, and what the Department of Justice needs to ensure real accountability.

After Minneapolis Chief Medaria Arradondo took the rare step of testifying against former officer Derek Chauvin, some experts are wondering if the long-held police code of silence may be crumbling. In this episode, MPR News host Kerri Miller examined how some police chiefs are spearheading reform. How do they balance the needs of the communities they serve, the city leaders who hire them, and the officers they lead? Guests:Bill Finney is a former St. Paul police chief and current Ramsey County undersheriff. Rashawn Ray is a fellow at The Brookings Institute and a sociology professor at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Bakari is joined by Rashawn Ray, sociology professor at the University of Maryland, to talk about the structural racism that exists within police departments (2:20), why the "one bad apple" argument is damaging police reform movements (12:42), and what the key aspects are for successful police reform (24:07).

The Derek Chauvin trial is underway in Minnesota, and the city of Minneapolis last week settled with the family of George Floyd for $27 million. Benjamin Wittes sat down on Lawfare Live with Rashawn Ray, the David M. Rubenstein Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, to talk about civil settlements. Rashawn is the author of a recent Lawfare article about how to reform the civil settlement system to make it more effective in deterring police misconduct, and they discussed the series of reforms that Rashawn recommends.
Hoy en Día a Día, comenzamos conversando con el reportero para The Washington Post, Jeff Stein, sobre el billonario plan económico propuesto por Joe Biden para renovar las infraestructuras del país: “Es un paso muy importante en la lucha contra el cambio climático… El presidente Biden está tomando un camino distinto al de Obama, porque va adelante con todo su plan climático, pero tratando de incrementar los empleos y fortaleciendo la economía”, comentó. Con el director de la ONG FundaREDES, Javier Tarazona, abordamos el tema del combate en el estado Apure entre Fuerzas Armadas de Venezuela y disidentes de las FARC: “Dos activistas de nuestra organización y dos periodistas fueron detenidos arbitrariamente… Ellos pretenden que con estas detenciones, el mundo no se va a enterar de lo que está ocurriendo en Apure”, informó. Tarazona destacó que “El conflicto es por controlar un territorio que facilita el narcotráfico en Venezuela”. Desde Quito nos atendió Francis Romero Cordero, director General de la encuestadora Click Report, quien nos habló sobre los resultados de las encuestas electorales en Ecuador: “Al excluir los votos blancos y nulos de las encuestas, los resultados quedan en 51% para Guillermo Lasso y 49% para Andrés Arauz”, comentó, y destacó que “Lasso ha logrado captar la mayoría de los votos de los indecisos. Su tendencia de crecimiento es permanente y mucho más grande que la que ha tenido Arauz en la segunda vuelta”. Sobre la huelga de hambre en la que se declaró Alexei Navalny, conversamos con el PhD en sociología política, Sam Greene, quien nos explicó: “La única manera de que Navalny siga con vida, es que se mantenga la presión internacional y él siga en el ojo público… Al convocar esta huelga de hambre, está llamando la atención sobre el tratamiento que recibe en la prisión”. Además, destacó que “Los rusos violan su propia legalidad y tratan así no solo a Navalny, sino a todos o la gran mayoría de los prisioneros”. El Dr. Rashawn Ray, director ejecutivo del Laboratorio de Investigación en Ciencias Sociales Aplicadas en la Universidad de Maryland, nos habló sobre la importancia del juicio contra Derek Chauvin en la lucha contra la violencia racial: “Lo que está de fondo en el caso es un problema racial, porque fue un policía blanco contra un ciudadano negro… Muchos americanos blancos consideran que lo que le hizo Chauvin a Floyd fue una mala acción, y ha de ser castigada”, comentó. Ray destacó que “La decisión del jurado implicará si EE.UU puede sanar estas heridas raciales o, por el contrario, agravarlas”. Y para cerrar, Odalys Arevalo, de “Las Madrinas de los Seguros”, nos habló acerca de los beneficios en Obamacare: “Hoy por primera vez, como parte del plan de rescate recientemente aprobado, están agregando ayuda federal para que los seguros médicos bajen de precio… Una familia que antes pagaba $175, de hoy en adelante puede pagar $40”, dijo, y expresó: “El Obamacare es una ley muy poderosa que ha ayudado a muchas personas”.

Hlaðvarp félagsfræðinnar snýr loksins aftur og er fyrsti þátturinn ekki af verri endanum. Í honum spjallar Sigrún við Rashawn Ray, prófessor í félagsfræði við Háskólann í Maryland í Bandaríkjunum. Undanfarið ár hefur Rashawn líka verið með rannsóknarstöðustyrk frá Brookings stofnuninni, en markmið hennar er að vinna að rannsóknum sem leiða til nýrra hugmynda um hvernig hægt er að leysa ýmis vandamál samfélagins. Í rannsóknum sínum hefur Rashawn sérstaklega lagt áherslu á ójöfnuð tengdan kynþætti, og hefur meðal annars skoðað Black Lives Matter hreyfinguna, hvernig hún byrjaði og áhrif hennar. Hann hefur einnig skoðað ofbeldi lögreglu gagnvart svörtum og unnið með lögreglunni í Maryland við að þróa aðferðir til að vinna á óbeinni hlutdrægni lögreglufólks. Síðan COVID-19 hófst hefur hann skoðað ójöfnuð sem tengist faraldrinum og meðal annars bent á að svartir eru mun líklegri til að deyja af völdum COVID-19 heldur en hvítir. Og á þessum tímum er auðvitað ekki hægt annað en að ræða um nýafstaðnar kosningar í Bandaríkjunum og mótmæli tengd þeim og þá sérstaklega hvernig þau undirstrika stöðu svartra og hvítra í bandarísku samfélagi og tilraunir til að viðhalda þeim valdaójöfnuði sem verið hefur til staðar í hundruð ára.
Hoy en #DiaADia, comenzamos conversando con el periodista Gustau Alegret, quien nos comentó que “Ayer hubo una cambio de era en Estados Unidos”, ya que “Biden representa el regreso a esa posición multilateral de búsqueda de soluciones conjuntas a problemas globales con socios internacionales”. También destacó que “La tarea principal que tiene Biden es la pandemia, pero también el recuperar la confianza en el liderazgo y las instituciones”, ya que “Muchas personas siguen creyendo firmemente la afirmación del expresidente Trump de que se han robado las elecciones”. El director ejecutivo del Laboratorio de Investigación en Ciencias Sociales Aplicadas en la Universidad de Maryland, Rashawn Ray, aseguró que “Kamala Harris hace historia no solo por ser la primera mujer en su puesto, sino por ser la primera mujer de color y de origen multirracial”. Ray destacó que “Harris evidentemente tiene aspiraciones presidenciales, de hecho ella se lanza en las primarias del Partido Demócrata, compitiendo contra el propio Biden”, y explicó que “Biden ya ha dicho que quiere ser presidente de un solo período, por lo que esto podría abrirle las puertas de la presidencia a Harris”. Desde Nueva York nos atendió la periodista Julia Preston, quien nos aseguró que “Biden empezó con una agenda muy agresiva sobre el tema de la inmigración”, puesto que “Trump llegó con una propuesta para cambiar radicalmente el sistema de migración de Estados Unidos, y Biden ahora llega para revertir todo esto y para proponer una agenda absolutamente diferente”. Además, mencionó algunas de las cosas que ya hizo Biden como presidente: “Suspendió las restricciones sobre los viajes de ciertos países, suspendió la construcción de la famosa pared de Trump, reforzó el programa del DACA y canceló el esfuerzo de Trump para eliminar a los indocumentados del conteo del censo”. El cofundador de Evergreen Action y CEO de Urban Ingenuity, Bracken Hendricks, nos comentó que “Ayer Biden firmó decretos en tres áreas muy importantes: con relación a la pandemia, a la situación económica y al cambio climático”, destacando que “Cuando Trump saca a Estados Unidos de la firma del Acuerdo de París, lo saca de la los puntos fundamentales que tienen que ver con el cambio climático”. Hendricks opinó que “Es una gran decisión por parte de Biden el haber reincorporado de un solo plumazo a Estados Unidos junto al resto de la comunidad mundial en el Acuerdo de París”. También conversamos con la doctora en ciencias sociales e historiadora Margarita López Maya, quien comentó que “La oposición ha quedado sumamente debilitada y muy fragmentada”, pero dijo que “No se puede forzar una unidad si no existe una unidad de criterio sobre qué hacer”, por lo que “Ahora lo que toca es reconocer que ha habido un fracaso, revisarlo y tratar de ir hacia una nueva fase de lucha”. López Maya opinó que “No fue acertada la decisión de retirarse de las elecciones parlamentarias, dejando el terreno prácticamente vacío”, ya que “Hay que luchar en todos los espacios y que crear hechos políticos en todos esos espacios”, porque “La Venezuela del pasado se acabó”. Y para cerrar, el director General Editorial de El Economista, Luis Miguel González Márquez, nos explicó que “La economía china se beneficia de la debilidad de otras economías, porque empieza a exportar sus productos”, por lo que “China se podría decir que ya no tiene el problema de la pandemia y está más enfocada en crecer”. Márquez también destacó que “A pesar de que China creció un 2,3%, es su menor tasa de crecimiento en 40 años”.

So many of us are trying to prioritize our health and stay alive. We are living through the unknown, unfamiliar together. Please be compassionate with yourself and others journeying with you. The culture created in yoga spaces with Black people has to be affirming and accountable to caustic microaggressions. We should not have to bottle and absorb someone else's carelessness for our lives and those lost while creating the space for restoration for everyone else. The burden is too heavy and not shared.

The idea of paying Black Americans reparations for slavery has been around for a long time, but it’s starting to get more support than ever. So we ask: If the country does agree to pay up, how do you calculate the bill? And how could the U.S. come up with that kind of cash? To find out, we talk to historian and farmer Leah Penniman, economist Prof. William Darity Jr., public policy scholar Assistant Prof. Naomi Zewde, and Ebony Pickett. UPDATE 10/30/20: An earlier version of this episode said that the average White person who didn't finish high school makes more money than the average Black person who graduated from college. The actual statistic is about net worth, rather than income, so we removed this reference. We’ve updated the episode.

Hoy en #DiaADia, comenzamos conversando con Lydia Saad, directora de investigación social de la empresa Gallup, quien nos comentó que “En Gallup estamos midiendo el entusiasmo de los votantes”, resaltando que “El 69% de los votantes, han respondido que tienen más entusiasmo de votar en este momento” y agregando que “Los votantes demócratas tienen más entusiasmo que los republicanos”. Saad también nos dijo que “66% de republicanos y 65% de demócratas tienen miedo de lo que pueda pasar si su candidato pierde”. Desde Washington nos atendió el Dr. Rashawn Ray, profesor de Sociología, quien nos explicó que “El voto negro es tan importante en estas elecciones como el voto hispano, especialmente en los estados pendulares”, resaltando que “Los votantes negros se inclinan por Biden, aunque también hay votantes negros para Trump”. Ray agregó que “Joe Biden reconoce la brecha racista en el país, que afecta no solo a los afroamericanos, sino también a la población hispana y a los asiáticos”, por lo que “Un candidato niega el racismo, y el otro entiende y acepta que existe”. El investigador asociado de política en Pew Research Center, Andrew Daniller, nos comentó que “85% de los votantes de Trump dice que lo más importante es la economía, a diferencia de los votantes de Biden, para quienes lo más importante es la pandemia”, por lo que “El votante de color, más afectado por el Coronavirus, es el que se está inclinando más hacia Biden”. Daniller destacó que “Es más que todo el voto femenino el que considera de mucha importancia el tema del aborto”. También nos atendió Rosalinda Maury, magister en ciencias y licenciada en psicología, nos explicó que “Trump ha tenido unas políticas de seguridad y beneficios muy importantes para los veteranos, y eso se refleja de inmediato en ese grupo”, por lo que “El 52% de los veteranos vota por Donald Trump”, mientras que “El voto femenino, las minorías y los latinos se inclinan más por Joe Biden”. Maury también destacó que “La comunidad de veteranos vota más que cualquier otro grupo”. El director del Centro de Estudios Latinos en las Américas, Julio Moreno, nos explicó que “Se ha dado una preocupación muy grande por el hecho de que esos grupos que apoyan ciegamente a Trump puedan usar la violencia”, aunque también “Existen grupos de izquierda que se teme puedan usar la violencia”. Moreno también comentó que “Debido a la desinformación, existe el miedo de que Biden le vaya a quitar todos los derechos a ciertas personas, cuando en realidad él no tiene el poder constitucional para hacerlo” y destacó que “La caída económica de ciertos factores sociales y la polarización que comienza desde la década de los 90 me parece que son factores esenciales”. Y para cerrar, el politólogo y sociólogo Xavier Torrens nos dijo que “El gobierno español está formado por primera vez en la historia democrática de España, por una coalición de gobierno”. Y sobre las relaciones entre España y Venezuela, destacó que “Ahora no va a haber embajador de España en Venezuela, sino un rango muy inferior. Y esta es una demostración simbólica de que España está poniendo en un brete a Venezuela”, por lo que “El gobierno de España quiere jugar sus cartas en los próximos meses, advirtiendo a la dictadura de Maduro que tienen que producirse cambios en el 2021”.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have identified far-right and racially motivated paramilitary-style groups as among the most significant national security threats facing our country. What is feeding the rise of vigilantism? And how effective are our local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies at combating the growing threat of far-right paramilitary violence? Guests: Michael German is a former FBI special agent specializing in domestic terrorism, and a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice's Liberty & National Security Program. Rashawn Ray is a Fellow at the Brookings Institution and the Executive Director of the Lab for Applied Social Science Research at the University of MD College Park.
This year, the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and far too many others has brought into painful relief the endemic police violence and brutality against Black and Brown people in the United States. As the nation tries to chart a course forward, there have been many calls to rethink, reimagine, and defund policing. In August, the American Public Health Association brought experts in policing and public health together to discuss these issues as part of a webinar titled Reborn not Reformed: Re-Imagining Policing for the Public Health. Co-sponsored by the Initiative, it was the third webinar in APHA's popular Advancing Racial Equity webinar series. Reborn Not Reformed discussed racial bias in policing, the acute and chronic health impacts of over-policing on Black and Latinx communities, and what “re-imagining policing” means for public safety, public health, and society overall. On this episode of the American Health Podcast, we'll be sharing one of the webinar presentations. It was given by Dr. Rashawn Ray, the David M. Rubenstein Fellow at the Brookings Institution and Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Ray's presentation will be preceded by introductory remarks from Dr. Daniel Webster, one of the nation's leading experts on the prevention of gun violence and a Bloomberg Professor of American Health.

Any opponent of Donald Trump has their work cut out for them, as his use of disinformation, dishonesty and disorder are unprecedented. So the U.S. representative from Pennsylvania's 17th congressional district Conor Lamb fully understands the rough road ahead for Vice President Biden over the next few months. Yet Lamb also is keenly aware of the candidate's realist perspective, and just how useful that will be for campaigning in the part of his state often referred as "Trump country." Plus Dr. Rashawn Ray, a David M. Rubenstein Fellow in Governance Studies at The Brookings Institution and Professor of Sociology and Executive Director of the Lab for Applied Social Science Research at the University of Maryland, College Park lends his considerable expertise to the conversation on what should be done in the wake of the protests throughout the nation.

Rebecca talks to sociologist Rashawn Ray about the George Floyd protests and how we move from "bad apples" to uprooting the "rotten trees" in policing that keep producing them. Show notes: https://medium.com/@OffKilterShow/bad-apples-come-from-rotten-trees-in-policing-53715fd7675e
The killing of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis has sparked another wave of national outrage over police brutality and violence. Protesters have taken to the streets, demanding an end to police violence, and some are even asking for police departments to be defunded or abolished altogether. On this episode, we explore what better policing could look like, and what role research and science might play in serious reform. We talk with experts about the effects police violence is having on Black Americans’ health — both mental and physical. It’s not only the actual violence — it’s also the constant fear of violence, and the fear of being stopped and arrested that’s causing stress and anxiety. We hear ideas for reform, along with how we can improve, or even reinvent, American policing. Also heard on this week’s episode: We talk to Rashawn Ray, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park, about his experiences with police, and his essay “Bad apples come from rotten trees in policing.” He is also a Rubenstein Fellow at the Brookings Institution. Harvard University public health researcher David Williams and Bay Area pediatrician and community health advocate Rhea Boyd discuss the health impact of police violence on communities of color. The threat of violence can lead to increased anxiety, depression, and hypervigilance. Rohini Haar, an emergency medicine physician in Oakland, California, and medical expert for Physicians for Human Rights, explains the health effects of tear gas, which can include permanent injury and even death. We talk to Karen Quigley, a psychology professor at Northeastern University, about how more factors than we might think affect police officers’ decision-making. Judith Andersen, a health psychologist at the University of Toronto Mississauga, then weighs in on how better, science-based training could help officers overcome their fight-or-flight response in the midst of stressful situations. Tracey Meares — a law professor at Yale Law School, and founding director of The Justice Collaboratory — discusses her research on how to improve the relationship between police and the public, which she says involves a fundamental reframing of how we think about police.
Dr. Rashawn Ray is a David M. Rubenstein fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He's also an associate professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he directs the Lab for Applied Social Science Research (LASSR). He is a scholar of, among other things, police-civilian relations and has done a lot of work on police-involved killings. He joined Benjamin Wittes to discuss the mechanisms of police violence, what causes it, what can be done to address it and reduce it, and the role of race in this problem. They talked about police unions, implicit bias, the difference between legality and morality in police shootings and what policy levers are available to bring an end to the rash of police killings.

Since the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, many people, businesses, and institutions have denounced systemic racism and police brutality. However, the property damage and looting that have co-existed with the peaceful protests have left some American reluctant to support the movement. To gain a better understanding of the current unrest, join us in this discussion with Rashawn Ray, a David M. Rubenstein Fellow at the Brookings Institution.

There is a historical notion in society that people who wear masks or face coverings always have something to hide. I mean, think about it—thieves, the Ku Klux Klan, etc. In the inherently racist America we know today, it is not uncommon for Muslim women to be seen as a threat when they wear their hijabs. Today, let’s talk about the struggles of minorities such as Black Americans and Muslim Americans that have become compounded by face mask requirements brought about by the current pandemic. Our guests are Sharrona Pearl, an associate professor of medical ethics at Drexel University, and Rashawn Ray, a David M. Rubenstein Fellow at the Brookings Institution. Their information can be found here: http://www.sharronapearl.com/?page_id=11 and https://www.brookings.edu/experts/rashawn-ray/.

As the numbers are coming in, statistics show that communities of color, particularly Latinx and Black communities are both contracting COVID at higher rates and dying from it at higher rates. What is causing this inequity? What solutions can we enact, both now and in the future, to change this? Sarah Edwards (MPP ’20) spoke with Rashawn Ray, David M. Rubenstein fellow at the Brookings Institution and an associate professor of sociology at the University of Maryland. To learn more about this issue, we recommend reading these two articles Rashawn wrote for Brookings: “Why are Blacks dying at higher rates from COVID-19?” “How to reduce the racial gap in COVID-19 deaths”
In this episode, I welcome Dr. Rashawn Ray. We will be discussing a recent article he wrote for brookings.com. In the article called Why are Blacks dying at higher rates from COVID-19?, Dr. Ray discusses the disparate impact that the current pandemic is having among the Black and lower-income communities. We had a great discussion and I'm looking forward to having him back on to discuss his work with police and Implicit Bias. #Drrashawnray #implicitbias #covid19 #coronavirus #blacksdying #inequity #needforchange #socialjustice @SociologistRay #healthcaresystem #captialism #healthcare4all #healthcareforall
The crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic is exposing the harsh reality of America's racial, health, and economic disparities. In cities across the United States, black Americans are dying from COVID-19 at disproportionately higher rates than their white counterparts. A combination of environmental, economic, structural, and political factors -- fueled by decades-old housing policies, educational inequities, poverty, and structural racism -- are often cited the main reasons behind the racial gap in COVID-19 deaths. Politicians, lawmakers, and activists alike are pleading with the federal government for race-inclusive data in testing. But is that enough? What other policy recommendations should be considered? And, will this pandemic and the outcry over the disproportionate death rate be a catalyst for real structural change -- or will it serve to only reinforce existing hierarchies? A sociologist and Rubenstein Fellow at The Brookings Institution, Dr. Ray researches the mechanisms that manufacture and maintain racial and social inequality. His work also speaks to ways that inequality may be attenuated through racial uplift activism and social policy.
As the number of infections and deaths related to COVID-19 continue to rise in the United States, evidence is mounting of a disproportionate impact on people of color. To discuss the racial disparities in the trajectory of the pandemic, Dr. Sam Chandan is joined by Dr. Rashawn Ray, David M. Rubenstein Fellow in Governance Studies at The Brookings Institution and Associate Professor and Executive Director of the Lab for Applied Social Science Research at the University of Maryland, College Park. Previously, Dr. Ray was a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Research Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.

In this episode, Rashawn Ray attributes the huge racial gap in coronavirus death rates to the over-representation of Black workers in essential jobs and the structural inequities that have long affected Black neighborhoods, and calls for policies to empower the disenfranchised people and places being hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In recent years, increasing attention has been given to identifying the social determinants of Black-White health disparities. For today’s episode, BhD explores the roles of place, socioeconomic status, and gender in shaping health behaviors and outcomes in the black community by interviewing Dr. Rashawn Ray—an Associate Professor of Sociology and the Executive Director of the Lab for Applied Social Science Research at the University of Maryland, College Park. They begin by discussing how intersectional identities (24:35), neighborhood racial composition (29:00), individual mindsets (33:12), and racial-profiling (34:39) shape health behaviors. They then have a conversation about health, neighborhood safety, and the policy implications of place (39:00). Next, they discuss body image in the black community, the implications of the “thick” movement for black women’s health (44:33), and the appropriateness of using BMI as a measure of health in the black community (47:57). They close by discussing policy solutions related to health and physical activity (1:02:36).
