In this episode, we dive deeper into the fallacies of ancestry DNA tests with evolutionary biologist Dr. Shay-Akil McLean. Dr. McLean helps us explore how our understandings of biology, DNA, and genes are deeply intertwined with the history of slavery and colonialism. Also, he helps us see how science is ultimately used as a distraction to race/racism. Bio Dr. Shay-Akil McLean, Ph.D. (@Hood_Biologist & @DATTShayAkil) is a Queer Trans masculine & gender queer man racialized as Black, on stolen Indigenous land, an educator, organizer, writer, public intellectual, human biologist, anthropologist & sociologist. Shay-Akil earned his Ph.D. from the UIUC School of Integrative Biology's Ecology, Evolution, & Conservation (PEEC). Shay-Akil studies Du Boisian sociology, STS/HASTS, race/ism, human health demography, evolutionary genetics, & theoretical population genetics. He holds degrees in biological anthropology (BA & MA) & sociology (BA & MA) which he uses to study bioethics, medical ethics, philosophy of biology, population genetics, evolutionary theory, health inequities, & knowledge LINKS: 1.

   Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I’m Margaret Kimberley, along with my co-host Glen Ford. Coming up: Will a Joe Biden administration be an ally of the Black Lives Movement? Two of our guests say most emphatically, NO. How can the grassroots Black movement for social justice bring real power for Black people? We’ll talk with a young scholar who says the movement should follow a path of “communalism.” And, a Black people’s movement is making itself felt in Argentina, a country that long pretended that it had no Black population to speak of.   But first – Joe Biden and Kamala Harris pulled off a cliff-hanger victory over Donald Trump, last week, largely on the strength of Black voters. We spoke with Dr. Johnny Williams, a professor of sociology at Trinity College, in Hartford, Connecticut. Dr. Williams says Joe Biden is no friend of the Black Lives Matter Movement.   Justin Lang is a doctoral candidate in Africana Studies at Brown University, and author of a scholarly article on former President Baraka Obama’s unsuccessful attempts to quell the movement to abolish prisons and the police. Lang predicts that a Joe Biden administration will also try to co-opt and confuse the Black movement.   The Black Lives Matter movement has spawned a number of political currents during its brief history. Shay Akil McLean espouses a politics of “communalism.” McLean is a doctoral candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He wrote an article for Black Agenda Report on Black health. We asked McLean to explain what he means by “communalism.” The South American nation of Argentina, like the United States, was founded on the dead bodies of native peoples and the labor of Black slaves. But, for centuries Argentinians have pretended that its Black population had died off. Erika Edwards has written a book that explains how Black Argentinians are resisting being written out of history. It’s titled, “Hiding in Plain Sight: Black Women, the Law, and the Making of a White Argentine Public.”

Anyone else finding that this period of lockdown has encouraged a host of deep healing and even deeper thinking?With that in mind, a year after the birth of the Divine Feminist podcast it turns out that this idea of divine feminism is ready to explain itself a little more deeply to the world... So grab a cuppa and let's get philosophical!Our world right now is determined to separate us; to remind us that we're all out for ourselves and that we should be afraid of anything and everything that we'd consider to be "different". Yet, what if that's all lies?Religious and spiritual traditions throughout history have reiterated the  concept of wholeness and that idea that we are all connected as part of all that there is. But what does that even mean? And how does it apply today in our increasingly individualistic societies?What's more, what does it mean for what we call divine feminism?Episode notesWithin today's podcast Ceryn mentioned that she is currently part of Academic and Writer Rachel Cargle's The Great Unlearn. You can read more about TGU here and more about Rachel's wider work at her website, www.rachelcargle.com.The article by Shay-Akil McLean is called Race, Ethnicity and Racism, and is available at Shay-Akil's website decolonizeallthethings.com.Ceryn mentioned two books during today's episode, they are:Earth is Hiring by Peta KellyA New Republic of the Heart by Terry PattenMusic is Start again, copyright Alex (2014), sourced through YouTube and available to hear in full hereIf you'd like to know more about working with Ceryn, and about Soul-Led Therapy, her approach to talking therapies, click hereAnd remember, to keep up with the latest from Ceryn and the podcast follow @divine.feminist on Instagram

"Race is a social construct" ok but what does that mean exactly? What is race? Why was it invented? How? And what the hell are we supposed to do with this information? Dr. Michael Rivera, a biological anthropologist who authored a forthcoming textbook chapter about race, explains why race is not biologically valid. Joshua Jiang, Helen Yang, and Lars Chen discuss their experiences in Asian-American and "mixed race" campus activism and critique liberal approaches to anti-racism. Biologist Shay-Akil McLean, who recently authored a journal article “Social Problems, Structural Issues, and Unsettling Science“ in American Anthropologist, pushes us to identify the specific social sites where race is constructed.

“The Sausage of Science Podcast with Cara & Chris” From the Public Relations Committee of the Human Biology Association SoS Episode 30- Yes, Anthropology is Racist: A Chat with Shay Akil Mclean In episode 30, we chat with Shay-Akil Mclean, a doctoral student in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign . Shay-Akil discusses his experiences navigating many barriers throughout graduate school, as well as his research and future goals. Shay-Akil is completing an interdisciplinary project, examining the impact of inequality on human biology & health at multiple stages: knowledge production (STS, SKATS), collection of biological data, analysis, and interventions. His previous research has examined the relationship between inequality, food insecurity, and dental health in Buffalo, New York, and he is currently working on completing his dissertation project. For more information on his work, check out his webpage with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign at: http://illinois.academia.edu/ShayAkilMcLean, or get in touch with him through Twitter @hood_biologist. The Sausage of Science is produced by Cara Ocobock and Chris Lynn, with assistance from Junior Service Fellow Caroline Owens for the Public Relations Committee of the Human Biology Association.

Behold! Using the power of science to interrogate societal assumptions around race and gender! We talk with experimental physicist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein about the physics of melanin and then biologist and sociologist Shay-Akil McLean about decolonizing science—and the physical marks that inequality leaves on our bones.

Stop crying for a little while and listen the newest BGD Podcast. Or just listen while you cry. Either way. Host Raquel Willis and guest Shay Akil McLean have lots to say about the election of Donald Trump.
