Natasha Warikoo, Lenore Stern Professor in the Social Sciences Department of Sociology at Tufts University, rejoins host Kevin Tyler to discuss the recent SCOTUS decision and how institutions may move forward in the post-affirmative action era.

The Supreme Court is weeks away from handing down a decision that will impact the future of affirmative action in higher education, with many court observers speculating the conservative-leaning court will rule that colleges can no longer consider race a factor when admitting students. Natasha Warikoo, the Lenore Stern Professor in the Social Sciences Department of Sociology at Tufts University, joins Higher Voltage host Kevin Tyler to discuss the potential implications of such a ruling.

As soon as he was overwhelmingly elected to a second term as Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis wasted no time re-planting a flag in the national culture war. It is widely assumed that DeSantis will be a candidate for President in 2024. It remains to be seen whether or not his attempts to alter the curriculum for the teaching of Black History will prove to be a winning strategy in the Republican primary or in a general election. But that curriculum has certainly been altered. The College Board — the non-profit educational organization which produces the Advanced Placement, or AP, course material at issue in Florida — contends it did not revise the curriculum because of political pressure. David Coleman, the CEO of the College Board, insisted in his interview last week with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that the revisions were made well before the Florida governor's criticisms. But those revisions were announced just a couple of days after Florida Gov. DeSantis blasted the original draft of the course as contributing to a leftist political agenda. Florida's Commissioner of Education described it as “woke indoctrination masquerading as education.” When the College Board first announced the Advanced Placement course in African American history last August, it garnered praise from scholars on the left. The revised version, released last week, deletes some of the most well-known contemporary voices in the African American canon, and delegates topics like Black Lives Matter and Critical Race Theory to a list of possible research topics, rather than as part of the course itself. The issue of what to teach and what to suppress in telling the story of our country's racial history became a cause celebre on the right. Gov. DeSantis has now expanded his attacks to encompass not just the high school AP course, but college and university curricula as well. Florida isn't the only state to have challenged the dimensions of what Black History should include. Nearly half of all states have passed legislation against Critical Race Theory, which before it became a hot topic, had only been taught in law schools.Today on Midday: Conversations with teachers who teach Black Studies in Baltimore high school classrooms. Plus, the perspective of the African American Studies scholar who coined the hashtag, #BlackLivesMatter. We begin with Patrice Frasier.

Professor Amy M. Mooney, Terra Foundation Visiting Professor in American Art Hosted by TORCH. Moderator: Melanie Chambliss, Assistant Professor in the Humanities, History, and Social Sciences Department at Columbia College Chicago. In this four-part lecture series, Professor Amy Mooney examines the central role portraiture played in fostering social change in the United States from the 1890s through the 1950s. Drawing from her forthcoming book, Portraits of Noteworthy Character, Professor Mooney considers the strategic visual campaigns generated by individuals and social institutions that used the portrait to advance their progressive political ideologies. From the etiquette texts used at historically black colleges to the post cards produced by Hull House to the Harmon Foundation's exhibition of “Portraits of Outstanding Americans of Negro Origin,” this series explores the ways in which the portrait was employed to build social relationships and negotiate modern subjectivity. At the turn of the twentieth century, U.S. national consciousness was challenged by both migration and immigration. White progressives, such as Jane Addams, sought to improve the conditions of newly arrived immigrants and borrowed strategies for racial, adapting them to encourage assimilation. Looking at images generated by Joseph Stella, Norah Hamilton and Lewis Hine, Professor Mooney considers how portraits from the progressive era contributed to the emerging constructs of race and ethnicity across the color line.

In today’s episode, Chase DiMarco talks with William Davis, PhD, Assistant Professor of Science and Technology Studies and Chair of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department at California Northstate University College of Health Sciences. Together they discuss the role of technology in medical education, how to improve the scope of disciplines included in teaching and improving the patient/practitioner relationship. Students sometimes come to study medicine expecting they won’t need social sciences. This leads to a discussion about the need to expand educational boundaries. William says there should be an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to teaching between departments to allow an integrated teaching approach. Due to the nature of the MCAT, William believes that students focus only on a very narrow spectrum of learning. This can lead to a flattening of patients, reducing them to charts as opposed to the three-dimensional people they are. There is a need for communication between educational tiers, which William breaks down. A greater efforts to understand other departments and disciplines to create a more rounded teaching approach is ideal. There is not one solution for expanding communication but there should be a balance between standardisation and individuality. William and Chase go on to talk about the patient care setting in Health 2.0. They discuss the use of scribes in a medical setting and how saleable and reliable it can be. Is it worth the trade offs to create better patient/physician relationships? Staying on the topic of technology, William and Chase end the episode by discussing how to successfully create online learning spaces. Both agree that interactivity and attention to course design are paramount to overcome the danger of passive learning. William hopes that this is a conversation that can continue and that educators can take into account what students want and need.

Dr. Natalie Boero is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at San Jose State University. She joins Every Body this week to discuss the ways our society pigeon holes obesity as a personal problem for the individual rather than examining the wider socioeconomic scope (access to good health care, food deserts, safe places to play and be active)  and its effects on public health. Dr. Boero discusses how she began in the field with her first book, Killer Fat: Media, Medicine and Morals in the American Obesity Epidemic. She explains the problem with medicalizing non-medical instances such as weight or violence with words like "epidemic" which cause panic and risky preventative measures. It was such a pleasure to hear Dr. Boero's thoughts and research on everything from obesity myths to the privilege of "the good fatty." Take a listen and join us in the conversation with us!   "My being the 'good fatty' probably has a lot to do with my class and race privilege in the sense that I have the resources to do certain things or I have the absence of other privileges that sort of blunt some of the other stigmas that I have experienced... we shouldn't judge moral worth based on health." - Dr. Natalie Boero   This Week on the Every Body Podcast: How Dr. Boero began her study into the "obesity epidemic" with her dissertation.  How the term "obesity epidemic" was coined. The ways that weight bias has become a scapegoat in blaming minority groups for their own disadvantages. The effects of socioeconomics on weight and health.  The correlation between chronic dieting and food restriction in the last 70 years with the general increase in the weight of Americans.  The problematic ways we produce and distribute food globally.  How focusing on fatness distracts from the larger public interest (i.e. psychological effects of fat stigma, access to safe places to play/be active, etc). The extremes that our culture falls into ("epidemic," "cleanse," "addict," etc) in the name of "health." "The good fatty" and myths about "human value being predicated on health."   Additional Resources: College of Social Sciences Department of Sociology The New Yorker, "Why Are Americans Fat?"

The effects of socioeconomics on weight and health.  The correlation between chronic dieting and food restriction in the last 70 years with the general increase in the weight of Americans.  The problematic ways we produce and distribute food globally.  How focusing on fatness distracts from the larger public interest (i.e. psychological effects of fat stigma, access to safe places to play/be active, etc). The extremes that our culture falls into ("epidemic," "cleanse," "addict," etc) in the name of "health." "The good fatty" and myths about "human value being predicated on health."   Additional Resources: College of Social Sciences Department of Sociology The New Yorker, "Why Are Americans Fat?"

On this week's POMEPS Conversation podcast, Marc Lynch speaks with Bassel Salloukh, an associate professor of political science at the Social Sciences Department at Lebanese American University. "Many countries are becoming like Lebanon where people start thinking of sectarian/tribal/ethnic divisions and identities as primordial. And then the only way to get out of the conflict is through the institutionalization of these identities into a new, power-sharing pact. But what that does is to freeze these identities and make it very difficult to move away from." "At the end of the day, the major problem is that people start looking at these identities as primordial. And they start behaving as if these identities have always been with us as part of these ancient hatreds. It becomes very difficult to come up with a counter-narrative."
