Most of us were told "race is a social construction" and not taught what social construction means nor why, and for what purpose, race was socially constructed. This is not a small issue as most research is rooted in racial essentialism.

Thank you, Chris for reaching out and giving me the opportunity to process this moment from this perspective. It lets me know you see me. I am so thankful to my community for taking me on this ride. Look at what we can do when we work together. https://t.co/7xwEuZzspv

"What would it mean for us to reckon with the idea that a racist, anti-immigrant political environment is harmful to health? A racist environment is not only harmful for targeted groups but for everyone."

My @UNCPublicPolicy colleague (and bff) Carmen Gutierrez's work on (lack of) representation on juries was highlighted on @LastWeekTonight. This work critically shows jury selection systematically excludes Black and Latino people. Read the research here. https://t.co/YSyh5u2LpD
