Talking About Race: Moving Toward a Transformative Dialogue
Talking About Race: Moving Toward a Transformative Dialogue Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document summarizes strategies for having effective inter-racial dialogues about race. It discusses why talking about race is important, why it is difficult, and strategies that can make discussions more productive. These include not blaming individuals, rejecting false dichotomies, focusing on desired outcomes rather than disparities, and acknowledging implicit bias and structural racialization. The goal is to have a transformative dialogue that promotes equal opportunity and democratic values.Reporting on Race
The document discusses reporting on issues of race in the Columbus Dispatch newspaper. It notes some positives in their coverage, such as articles on the impacts of foreclosure and challenges facing marginalized groups. However, it also notes some gaps, such as a lack of coverage of other minority groups beyond African Americans unless related to crime. The document discusses four tendencies to avoid in race reporting, such as minimizing the significance of racism. It also discusses how implicit racial bias can influence decisions and outcomes.
John A Powell Presentation Aug 26
This document discusses structural racialization and how racial disparities persist even as explicit racist attitudes and laws have declined. It argues that seemingly neutral policies and institutions can reproduce racial inequalities without racial intent. It provides examples of persistent racial disparities in areas like unemployment, incarceration, income, wealth, and concentrated poverty. It advocates using a structural perspective and systems thinking to understand how disparate impacts accumulate over time through mutually reinforcing relationships between policies, institutions, and spatial aspects of opportunity. Transformational change is needed that addresses implicit biases and links individual and community fates rather than viewing them in isolation.
Poverty Interrupted White Paper Final Digital
This document provides an introduction to a white paper about applying behavioral science insights to poverty alleviation efforts. It discusses how the US has made some progress in reducing poverty but has ultimately failed to win the "War on Poverty." It argues that behavioral science has not been meaningfully applied to anti-poverty efforts despite its potential. The paper then puts forward three design principles for poverty programs grounded in behavioral science: 1) Cut the costs that poverty imposes on people's time, attention and cognition, 2) Create slack by providing cushions of time, money and resources, and 3) Reframe poverty and empower people by preserving their autonomy. The document aims to start a conversation about innovative ways to incorporate behavioral insights into policies
Poverty Interrupted White Paper
This document summarizes a white paper titled "Poverty Interrupted: Applying Behavioral Science to the Context of Chronic Scarcity". It was authored by Allison Daminger, Jonathan Hayes, Anthony Barrows, and Josh Wright from ideas42, a behavioral design firm. The paper argues that traditional approaches to fighting poverty have had limited success, and that insights from behavioral science could help design more effective policies and programs. It outlines three key design principles for interventions aiming to reduce poverty through a behavioral lens: cut the costs of poverty, create slack or buffers for families living with scarcity, and reframe poverty to empower individuals. The document provides an overview of the behavioral science perspective and an introduction to the more detailed principles
Illinois Senate Race
The 2010 Illinois Senate election features Democrat Alexi Giannoulias and Republican Mark Kirk seeking to fill President Obama's former Senate seat. Giannoulias is the current Illinois State Treasurer and was endorsed by Obama. Kirk is a member of the U.S. House representing Illinois' 10th district. The race has been close and contentious, focusing more on personal histories than issues. Both candidates are attacking the other's trustworthiness as the campaign has become increasingly hostile in a key race that could impact Senate control.

The Color of Wealth in Boston
This document provides demographic information about racial groups in the Boston metropolitan statistical area (MSA) based on data from the 2012 American Community Survey. It finds that while the white population declined slightly from 2000-2012, the Asian, black and Hispanic populations all increased substantially. The two largest Hispanic groups in the Boston MSA are Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. Cape Verdeans and Haitians also have large populations concentrated in the Boston area. Nonwhite populations are unevenly distributed across cities and towns, with higher concentrations in Boston and certain "gateway cities." The document examines the history of immigration to the Boston area from various Latin American, Caribbean, African and Asian countries since World War II.
Wealth Inequalities in Greater Boston: Do Race and Ethnicity Matter?
This document summarizes a study that analyzed racial and ethnic wealth disparities in the Boston metropolitan area using detailed survey data on assets and debts. Key findings include:
1) Significant racial and ethnic wealth disparities exist in Boston, even after controlling for demographic factors, with typical black and Hispanic households having much lower wealth levels than white households.
2) Within racial/ethnic groups, there are also notable differences, with Dominicans reporting comparatively low asset levels and high debt, while Caribbean blacks report higher wealth levels.
3) The study highlights the need to disaggregate data by ancestral origin to better understand causes of financial disparities between communities of color.
America_Divided_Guide-4
This document provides discussion guides and resources for a documentary series called "America Divided" that explores inequality in the United States across various issues. The series is comprised of 8 episodes that tell human stories about inequality in areas like education, housing, healthcare, labor, criminal justice, and the political system. This discussion guide provides conversation starters and discussion questions for each episode to help facilitate discussions about the issues covered in the documentary.
Getting kicked when you are down The criminal law and the homeless in the Uni...
This document discusses laws across many US cities that criminalize homelessness by prohibiting necessary activities like camping, sleeping, and begging in public. It argues these laws are ineffective and expensive, punishing people for their status rather than actions. While proponents claim the laws promote public order and reduce crime, critics argue they are inhumane, expensive, and may be unconstitutional. The document examines legal challenges the homeless could make against such laws and alternatives like housing and social programs that have proved more effective.
FinishedSynthesisResearchpaperforCorrections
The document discusses racial disparities in the US criminal justice system. It notes that incarceration rates have increased significantly since the 1970s, with the US now incarcerating about 7 times more of its population than Western European countries. While disparities exist for all minorities compared to whites, African American men are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system. They are incarcerated at rates 6-8 times higher than whites and comprise nearly 40% of the prison population despite being only 15% of the total US population. Racial disparities stem from a number of factors including discriminatory drug laws, socioeconomic inequality, lack of access to education, and implicit racial biases.
12 marger ppt
This chapter discusses several key issues related to race and ethnicity in the changing American context. It outlines 3 important issues: 1) the changing ethnic configuration due to new immigration patterns, 2) the debate around cultural assimilation versus pluralism, and 3) the continued socioeconomic gap between white/Asian groups and black/Hispanic/Native American groups. Specific topics covered include the economic and social impacts of new immigration, challenges facing Arab Americans, debates around affirmative action and bilingualism, and perspectives on the future of race relations in the US.
US Immigrants - Friends or Fiends
This document discusses the debate around immigration to the U.S. It notes that while immigrants have historically contributed to U.S. economic growth and prosperity, the debate has taken different turns as some native-born Americans see immigration as a threat. While most agree some level of immigration is acceptable, there is disagreement around how many and what types of immigrants to allow. The document also outlines some arguments made against immigration and taxes paid by undocumented immigrants. It concludes that the debate is complicated by politics and gerrymandering that reduces incentives for compromise.

Criminal Injustice System_BARNES_CONGER_MANSFIELD_STONE
This document discusses the negative impacts of mass incarceration in the United States, particularly how it disproportionately affects minority families and communities. It notes that the "War on Drugs" led to a tenfold increase in incarceration rates, especially for non-violent drug crimes. This has resulted in minority groups making up a disproportionate percentage of the prison population compared to their percentage of the general population. The document also examines the emotional, financial, and social effects this has on families and communities through incarceration and after release. It calls for reform of the criminal justice system to reduce these negative consequences.
Law & Society Essay 3
The document discusses how increased border enforcement and immigration policies since the 1980s have disproportionately impacted women. Stricter border patrols have encouraged migrant workers to settle permanently in the US with their families instead of seasonal work. However, deportations have overwhelmingly targeted unauthorized immigrant men, leaving women as single parents struggling economically in a hostile environment without support. The document argues this is an overlooked feminist issue and that reform is needed to prevent further harm to immigrant families and women.
CBMA Midwest, Presentation by Andrew Grant-Thomas, Black Male Achievement: Ta...
This document summarizes research on opportunities and challenges facing black males. It finds that while there has been some progress in educational attainment and business ownership for black males, most live in areas with low economic opportunity. Research identifies factors such as lack of jobs, low educational resources, family instability, and incarceration that impact outcomes. However, the document also emphasizes community strengths like economic power within the black community, political influence, and opportunities for coalition building across racial groups. It provides examples of successful coalitions in Chicago and Milwaukee that have addressed issues like workforce development.

This section discusses opportunities to expand economic opportunity for LGBT communities in the South. It notes that LGBT Southerners are more likely to have low incomes than non-LGBT Southerners and their LGBT peers in other regions. Specific groups like transgender people and Black children in gay male households have disproportionately high poverty rates. A lack of employment and housing protections contributes to these disparities. Funders can support organizations providing services to LGBT people experiencing poverty, as well as advocacy groups working to promote economic justice. Strengthening partnerships across issues like poverty, housing, and employment can help address the challenges faced by low-income LGBT Southerners.
Module 4 ppt
The document discusses several individualistic theories of poverty: biogenetic theory, which claims intelligence explains poverty; culture of poverty theory, which argues the poor have dysfunctional values; and human capital theory, which asserts lack of education causes poverty. Each is critiqued for ignoring structural factors like inequality, discrimination, and lack of opportunity that impact poverty beyond individual choices or attributes. While education and skills are important, success depends more on access to social and cultural capital like networks, privilege, and converting human capital into well-paying jobs.
RBG Expose’ on Mass Media and Racism
The document discusses how mass media portrays African Americans in a negative light and perpetuates racist stereotypes. It argues that the media focuses on crimes, violence, and anti-social behavior in the black community in a distorted way. This has fostered public perceptions of African Americans as criminals. The document also discusses how the media portrayed events like the LA riots in a way that blamed the black community rather than examining underlying socioeconomic factors. It argues that the corporate structure of media leads to the promotion of racist stereotypes in order to maximize profits by dividing the working class along racial lines.
Poverty in the usa 2010
Mollie Orshansky developed the original U.S. poverty thresholds in 1963-1964 while working for the Social Security Administration. She defined poverty as a family earning less than three times the cost of a basic food budget, establishing the first standardized measure of poverty in the United States. Her "Mollie's Measure" was influential in launching the War on Poverty under President Lyndon B. Johnson and establishing poverty guidelines still used today.
Ethnic And Racial Groups In The Us
The document discusses racial and ethnic groups in the United States, including African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. It notes that minority groups have faced various forms of discrimination and difficulties gaining acceptance and equality in US society. While progress has been made since the civil rights movement, many minority groups still face socioeconomic disadvantages and underrepresentation compared to white Americans.

This document discusses the continuing significance of race and outlines the work of the Kirwan Institute. It argues that while some claim we now live in a post-racial society, racial inequalities still exist in areas like education and the criminal justice system. The foreclosure crisis disproportionately impacted minority communities. Kirwan's mission is to research structural racialization and the impact of implicit bias. Through opportunity mapping and other projects, it aims to promote racial equity and stimulate transformative change. The economic recovery presents both opportunities and challenges to direct funds towards communities hardest hit by the crisis.Racism Presentation
Racism is an illusional concept that has persisted in modern society. It developed from the historical practices of slavery, which existed as early as ancient Egypt and stratified many early civilizations into castes. Despite protests against it, racism continued to view black people as inferior to others after slavery was abolished. Racism still exists today through stereotypes, jokes, and groups online. It stems from factors like skin color, religion, culture, and history. Solutions include spreading awareness, accepting diversity, and making discrimination illegal. Famous figures both advanced and fought against racist ideologies.
Jo Josephs Independent Study
The Prison Industrial Complex and Its Various Complications examines the history and rise of the prison industrial complex in the United States. It argues that the PIC functions similarly to historical institutions like slavery and Jim Crow laws that economically benefited one race at the expense of subjugating others. Specifically, it analyzes how policies like the War on Drugs have been crafted and enforced in a racially biased way that disproportionately targets and incarcerates African Americans. Private prison corporations and other special interest groups that profit off mass incarceration lobby politicians to pass tougher criminal justice policies. The legacy of slavery and racist institutions continues to influence modern society through the prison industrial complex.

V Postcolonialism
The document discusses postcolonial studies and its examination of the global impact of European colonialism from the 15th century to present day. It aims to describe colonial power mechanisms, recover marginalized voices, and theorize colonial and postcolonial identities. A major issue is the nature of representation, as Western representations of third world countries served political interests. Postcolonial critics problematize "objective" perception and examine damaging stereotypes circulated through texts and media. Relatedly, Western education functioned to spread imperialism through cultural colonization. Postcolonial critics reject claims of universalism in Western literature and examine its representations of other cultures and silence on colonialism and imperialism.
Racial discrimination slide
This document discusses racial discrimination and provides causes and solutions. It notes that racial discrimination causes violence, self-hatred through skin bleaching, and negative effects. Common causes include ignorance, lack of knowledge, fear, parents passing down ignorance, and wanting to feel superior. Solutions proposed are standing and thrusting collective power against racism, educating the ignorant, and judging people by character rather than skin color.
Racism In America Today
The document discusses racism in the United States today. It defines racism and explores different perspectives on its meaning. While racism began as discrimination by whites against minorities, the document argues racism now affects all groups and defines it as "all cultures against all." It also discusses the prevalence of racist stereotypes according to studies and argues true racism is difficult to measure. The document concludes by advocating coming together to fight racism through understanding and integration across racial and cultural lines.
Racism Presentation
The document discusses different aspects of racism, including what racism is, examples of racism in sports like football and Formula 1, political correctness, and a conclusion. It defines racism as thinking some people are better than others due to differences in skin color or religious beliefs. It provides examples of racist comments and behaviors directed at football players and managers as well as Lewis Hamilton in Formula 1. It also discusses how the English government changed the nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep" due to concerns about offending people.

America’s Racially Diverse Suburbs Opportunities and Chal.docx
Racially diverse suburbs are growing faster than predominantly white suburbs. 44% of residents in the largest 50 US metro areas live in racially integrated suburbs that are 20-60% non-white. These communities represent opportunities for different races to live and govern together, but also face challenges to remaining stable and integrated. Failure to support these communities could undermine the nation's economic and political future success in an increasingly diverse country.

This document provides an overview of American men in the early 2010s by examining realities, icons, and memes. It discusses the changing demographics of the US, with declining white population percentages and growing ethnic diversity. Economically, it notes the illusion of widespread prosperity fueled by debt, and outlines the current realities of uneven wealth distribution and declining prospects for many working-class men. It then examines prominent male icons from Hollywood and how they have reflected changing ideals of American manhood over time. Finally, it introduces the concept of "thought viruses" or memes that animate American cultural and political debates.

Male in the USA
This document summarizes realities about men in the United States based on statistics and data. It notes that the US population continues to grow through births and immigration, making it more ethnically diverse. While men on average still earn more than women, the gap is closing as more women get college degrees and high-paying jobs. However, rising costs and debt have created an illusion of prosperity for many. Most Americans now make under $50,000 annually and cannot maintain spending levels without borrowing. Overall wealth remains concentrated among the top earners.

Minorities in American Dream
Minorities do not Equal Access to the American Dream
Teddy Chou
Oregon State University
In this new world, people who are from all over the world have been moving into America and intending to start and live a better life. Emigrants from Africa, Europe, South America, and Asia, among other regions of the world, have all come in the US hoping for better political, economic and social conditions. They just have one thing in their minds, and that is to achieve the American dream. In addition, the American Dream is just like that life should be better, richer and fuller for every person, with opportunity for each based on his ability or achievement. It is a national spirit that represents the best possible life of the American population. Everyone has an opportunity to be successful, lead a prosperous life, and have the freedom to climb up the economic ladder along with their family and children, without any regard to their origin or social class. Also, the United States usually declared the independence that is the American Dream should let all people are equal and have the freedom to enjoy life, liberty, and happiness. Furthermore, practically, realizing the American dream is to own a house built on a private land. President Bill Clinton emphasized that for one to realize this dream, they have to work hard in order to have a chance for personal development and advancement. Living the American Dream is the principal goal for the majority of American citizens and those that have been fighting to attain American citizenship. However, the realization of this dream has proved to be a nightmare for most Americans because of many reasons (Cullen, 2004, p. 124). And then the American Dream for most American has been rendered unrealistic and impossible to achieve.
In 2000, after many years of significant economic development and success, the rate of poverty of both Latino and African American populations was still close to three times higher than that of the white American white population. Even though this difference was alarming, the previous decades had seen worse with higher disparities recorded. When the economy made a slow turn to the worse after 2000, the rate of poverty among the minorities rose significantly higher than that of the whites. They result in a widened poverty gap and make the realization of the American Dream among them even seem impossible (Soyer, 2016). Although the number of Americans living in poverty reduced by over a million between 2004 and 2005, the poverty levels of the minorities heightened.
Gender has also been an obstacle for most people to achieve the American Dream. Since ancient times, the men have been viewed by the society as stronger, able and the host of their families. This notion has identified women as a minority gender and made it difficult for them to get ahead of society’s stereotype against them. A majority of them have been trapped in a society that limits ...
SYMPOSIUM IMMIGRATION, CITIZENSHIP, AND THE AMERICAN DREAM.docx
SYMPOSIUM: IMMIGRATION, CITIZENSHIP, AND THE AMERICAN DREAM
Which American Dream Do You Mean?
David Stoll
Published online: 7 July 2009
# Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2009
Abstract According to the latest U.S. Census projection,
the arrival of immigrants and their higher birthrates,
projected forward at current rates, will turn the U.S. into a
“minority–majority” society in 2042, 8 years earlier than
the Census used to predict. Liberals tend to view immigra-
tion to the U.S. as a human right, but many employers prefer
to hire immigrants because they can be paid less than the
cost of reproducing their labor-that is, the cost of keeping
an American family above the poverty line. One way of
looking at the resulting debates over U.S. immigration
policy is in terms of moral economy, that is, how different
factions compete for moral authority in order to gain
control over a desired good. In this case, the desired good
is American citizenship, including access to the highest
consumption rates on the planet, and national definitions of
citizenship are competing with transnational or globalist
definitions of citizenship. Constructing moral rhetoric for
either national or transnational definitions of citizenship
requires excluding information that does not serve the
cause. One way of spotlighting the omissions is to look at
each moral economy as a highly selective version of the
American Dream.
Keywords Comprehensive immigration reform .
Census projection . Minority–majority
In his campaign for president, Barack Obama promised a
comprehensive immigration reform that will probably
include legalizing undocumented immigrants. So as we
stumble out of the rubble of our credit collapse, activists
and talking heads will return to this contentious subject. In
2007, 38 million people or 12.6% of the U.S. population
was foreign-born. According to the latest U.S. Census
projection, the arrival of immigrants and their higher
birthrates, projected forward at current rates, will turn the
U.S. into a “minority–majority” society in 2042, 8 years
earlier than the Census used to predict. That is, the
percentage of people who we define as non-Hispanic
whites (currently 65% of the population) will decline to
less than 50% of the U.S. population. In 15 years people
who we currently define as minorities will comprise more
than half of all children, and by 2050 they will comprise
54% of the population.
Statistical trends such as these are quick to provoke
indignation. Some Americans are horrified that, in 2008,
the U.S. government forcibly deported 361,000 people,
almost ninety percent of them Mexicans and Central
Americans. The deportees include people who made their
lives in the United States, and they have many relatives,
friends and employers who feel their human rights have
been violated. Other Americans are horrified that immi-
grants who deliberately broke the law, who did so
repeatedly to smuggle in their relatives, and who may
continue to do so, w ...

The Impact of the Economic Crisis on Communities of Color & Strategies for Mo...Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The economic crisis has disproportionately impacted communities of color due to pre-existing inequalities. Universal policies alone fail to address differing circumstances. An approach called "targeted universalism" acknowledges disparities while promoting inclusion and targeting marginalized groups. It recognizes interdependence and advocates systemic interventions to spur transformative change for everyone's benefit.Research Paper
The document discusses the issue of homelessness in the United States. It notes that the number of homeless people continues to rise each year for various reasons, including poverty and economic recession. The poverty level remains high as the economy struggles, foreclosures increase, and finding jobs becomes more difficult. Several nonprofit organizations work to address homelessness through research, prevention programs, and fundraising to help the homeless population.

Equity and Access: Thinking Transformatively about Race, Opportunity, & Socia...Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
John Powell presented on thinking transformatively about race, opportunity, and social justice. He discussed how race is a social construction and the need to address structural racial inequities rather than blame individuals or cultures. Powell also outlined how poverty impacts communities of all races through "linked fate" and presented data showing racial disparities in poverty rates. He argued for moving beyond individual-focused, transactional approaches to addressing racial inequities through structural and institutional transformation.Poverty in the USA
Mollie Orshansky developed the original U.S. poverty thresholds in 1963-1964 while working for the Social Security Administration. She defined poverty as a family's annual income being below three times the annual cost of basic groceries. Known as "Mollie's Measure," it set a consistent standard for defining poverty over time and between countries based on basic needs rather than relative to overall societal standards of living. Her thresholds were later adopted by the U.S. government and remain influential in measuring poverty in America.
Diversity in the United States Final by GilSheppard ETH125.docx Sat. May 16,...
The document discusses diversity in the United States. It notes that minority populations are expected to become the majority by 2050, with Hispanics growing the fastest. There have historically been challenges to diversity from European colonists not respecting Native Americans. However, diversity provides benefits like improved business and innovation. The media both supports diversity through educational content and shows prejudice at times in its coverage of issues. Overall, as diversity increases, working together across racial and ethnic groups will be important for community success.
Getting the Rural Swagger Back
Getting The Rural Swagger Back is a keynote speech about revitalizing rural communities. It discusses how rural areas are facing challenges like declining populations and economic difficulties. However, it also notes opportunities like a growing interest among younger and retiring generations in rural living. The speech advocates developing a positive vision that emphasizes community, self-sufficiency, and cultural values to attract new residents and boost rural economies. It provides examples of shareable economies, local food systems, and renewable energy to demonstrate rural sustainability and resilience.

This document summarizes the impact of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill on BP's "Beyond Petroleum" branding and positioning. It notes that BP had tried to position itself as moving "beyond" oil through green ads, but that this messaging has now become "toxic" in the wake of the major spill. The piece argues that BP should have focused more on improving its core oil business operations rather than lofty environmental claims not backed up by its actions. It suggests the company bought too much into its own green branding.
Last Nights Class, Opening Remarks
The document provides information on exams for a sociology course, including point breakdowns and essay guidelines. It discusses demographic trends in the US altering the population mix, including the aging population, racial/ethnic diversity from immigration, and urban growth. Sample student essays are included that discuss these trends, addressing causes and social consequences. The document also lists social institutions and group presentations scheduled, including expected topics.
Race and Class
Race and class are mutually constitutive social constructs that shape American institutions and policies, as evidenced by the racial disparities exacerbated by programs like the New Deal and GI Bill that were formally race-neutral but implemented in a discriminatory manner. A universal and "targeting within universalism" approach is proposed that rejects both blanket universalism indifferent to different group experiences and particularism, seeking instead to transform structures to lift all people together through collective solutions and coalition building across racial and class lines.
Essay 3; example
The document discusses three major demographic trends that will impact the United States population over the coming decades: 1) An aging population, as the large Baby Boomer generation moves into retirement, will strain social security and health care systems; 2) Immigration and racial/ethnic diversity will continue to increase, altering the population mix; 3) Rapid urbanization will concentrate more of the population in cities and exacerbate social problems in those areas, increasing justice system costs. These trends will present significant economic and social challenges for American society.
Hansen_Essay_3
This document discusses income inequality in Manhattan, New York. It shows that certain neighborhoods in Manhattan have significantly higher average incomes than others, especially for African Americans. The inequality originated from past legal discrimination that barred minorities from opportunities. While anger over this inequality is understandable, it has also been counterproductive. The document proposes several policy solutions that could help reduce inequality, such as increasing the minimum wage, access to childcare and education, and making it easier for all citizens to vote.
Racial Wealth Inequality: Myths, Realities, and What Can be Done About It Wor...
This document summarizes key points about racial wealth inequality in the United States. It discusses how the average white family has significantly more wealth than black and Hispanic families. Several policies throughout American history have contributed to the racial wealth gap, such as discriminatory housing policies. The document argues that addressing racial wealth inequality will require major policy interventions and redistributive efforts. A multifaceted approach is needed that includes student loan forgiveness, equalizing homeownership and college graduation rates, and universal savings accounts at birth. Individual action such as educating oneself and getting involved with advocacy groups like RESULTS can also help address the issue.

The Kirwan Institute’s past year was marked by wide-ranging accomplishments which touched all three U.S. coastlines and many areas in between, with significant impact right here at The Ohio State University.
Does Place Really Matter? Broadband Availability, Race and Income
Does Place Really Matter? Broadband Availability, Race and IncomeKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document summarizes a presentation on broadband availability and its relationship to race, income, and location. It explores these relationships through case studies of Los Angeles, Chicago, and South Carolina. The main findings are that income was a more significant determinant of broadband deployment than race alone, availability varies between urban and rural areas, and adoption remains an issue even with some level of competition and availability. Going forward, the researchers intend to further examine availability versus adoption, the role of cost and service type, and speed. Data and technical challenges for the analysis are also discussed.Policy and Promise for Low Income People in America
Policy and Promise for Low Income People in AmericaKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document discusses the role of federal policy in promoting or limiting opportunities for low-income people and people of color in America. It provides historical examples of how policies around schooling, housing, transportation and lending influenced racial inequities that persist today. It also examines unemployment insurance and finds that while Black and Latino Americans face higher unemployment rates, they are underrepresented among recipients of unemployment benefits compared to their share of the unemployed population. Geographic distribution of minority groups in states with less generous unemployment systems as well as ineligibility factors may partially explain these disparities.It's not what you think: How structural dynamics and implicit bias reproduce ...

The document summarizes a talk given by John Powell on structural racialization. Powell discusses how, despite the election of Barack Obama, racial inequalities persist in areas like education and the criminal justice system. He argues that prematurely declaring a post-racial status ignores the continued barriers that marginalized groups face. Powell also examines how implicit biases, institutional arrangements, and public policies have collectively contributed to ongoing racial disparities, even without explicitly racist actors.Diversity Strategies for Successful Schools: Final Recommendations
Diversity Strategies for Successful Schools: Final RecommendationsKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document provides recommendations for updating Ohio's 1980 diversity policy. It recommends reaffirming commitment to diversity and reducing racial isolation. It also recommends supporting voluntary diversity policies, conducting diversity assessments of new schools/closures, diversifying staff, expanding diversity training, limiting zero tolerance policies, expanding successful magnet programs, monitoring referral rates and representation in advanced courses, and promoting comprehensive counseling programs. The goal is to foster inclusive, equitable and diverse learning environments.“Race”-ing to Equity: A Toolkit and Tale of Two Cities
“Race”-ing to Equity: A Toolkit and Tale of Two CitiesKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses using a targeted universalism approach to promote racial equity by changing the geography of opportunity. It provides examples of how targeted universal policies in Portland and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program invested in communities hardest hit by crises while also providing access to higher opportunity areas. The document advocates for a multi-faceted approach including opportunity mapping to coordinate regional investments in people, places, and connections to expand access to high opportunity communities.Desegregation Goes North: Getting Around Brown
This document summarizes the history of school desegregation efforts in the United States following the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that ruled racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. It discusses the phases of desegregation including massive resistance in the South, courts enforcing desegregation through rulings like Green v. County School Board and Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenberg, desegregation moving to northern states through cases like Keyes v. School District No. 1 and Penick v. Columbus Board of Education, and the limiting of desegregation through rulings like Milliken v. Bradley. It also examines trends of resegregation and the impacts of segregation on opportunities and outcomes.

(Why) Are African Americans and Latinos underrepresented among UI beneficiari...Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document discusses potential reasons for the underrepresentation of African Americans and Latinos among unemployment insurance (UI) beneficiaries. It finds that:
1) African Americans and Latinos experienced higher unemployment during the recession but were also overrepresented among the long-term unemployed.
2) While recipiency rates were around 40% for whites, they were lower for African Americans and Latinos, ranging from 32-39%.
3) Geographic distribution of racial groups may play a role, as African Americans and Latinos are more concentrated in states with lower UI recipiency rates. Implicit bias and discretion in the UI system could also potentially contribute to underrepresentation of minorities.Equal Opportunity and Access to Higher Education in Ohio
Equal Opportunity and Access to Higher Education in OhioKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document summarizes a seminar on access to higher education presented by Jason Reece at Ohio State University. The seminar discussed unequal access to higher education in Ohio as a form of inequity and examined what drives disparate educational outcomes in the state and what can be done to improve access. Reece, a senior researcher at the Kirwan Institute, explored how systemic barriers to higher education represent inequity in Ohio and how providing greater access promotes greater equity.Facing Race, Facing Our Humanity
This document discusses facing issues of race and humanity. It notes that while we may unconsciously think about and hold biases related to race even with sincerely egalitarian attitudes, avoiding discussions of race does not make bias go away. Having open conversations about race, though difficult, is important. It concludes by providing information about the Kirwan Institute and its work related to issues of race.

Opportunity Mapping: Using GIS for Social Equity, Racial Justice and AdvocacyKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
Jason Reece gave a lecture on using GIS and mapping for advocacy and promoting equity. He discussed how maps can effectively display spatial inequities related to race, class, and other social factors. He provided examples of opportunity mapping projects conducted by the Kirwan Institute to analyze access to education, jobs, housing and other opportunities. Reece explained how these maps have informed programs and policies to improve opportunities for disadvantaged communities.Mapping Opportunity for Advocacy and Social Justice
Mapping Opportunity for Advocacy and Social JusticeKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document discusses using mapping and spatial analysis to advance advocacy and social justice. It provides examples of how opportunity mapping has been used in litigation, research, and policymaking to illustrate disparities, propose solutions, and measure impact. Opportunity mapping combines quantitative data analysis with narrative to identify gaps in access to critical resources and structures. The approach has informed fair housing legal cases, program evaluation, and efforts to direct investment to disadvantaged communities.Community Engagement Roundtable Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland
Community Engagement Roundtable Sisters of Charity Foundation of ClevelandKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
Community engagement builds social capital by cultivating long-term relationships and developing a shared community vision. However, community engagement has declined as private life replaces public life and diversity decreases social capital. Disadvantaged communities face additional challenges to engagement like decades of disinvestment, poverty, and underperforming schools. To rebuild engagement requires long-term efforts that empower local leadership, allow diverse voices to be heard, and foster trust through shared responsibility between community groups.Capitalism, Race, and the Struggle for Equality
This document discusses critical race theory and the intersection of race and class. It makes three key points:
1) Race and class are co-constitutive and intersect at individual, group, and societal levels, shaping identity and inequality over time. The exclusion of non-whites from New Deal programs entrenched structural racial inequality.
2) Opportunity structures in domains like housing, employment, education sort individuals and groups in racialized ways. A shift is needed to examine how institutions collectively racialize opportunities.
3) Corporate power increasingly shapes key areas of life and diminishes public and private spaces, with implications for civil rights that are debated in issues like Citizens United.
Structural Change: Confronting Race and Class
The document discusses structural barriers to opportunity and how they disproportionately impact marginalized communities. It provides an overview of the Kirwan Institute's work studying how systems produce racial inequities and analyzing neighborhoods' access to opportunities like education and employment. It then examines how policies historically enforced inequity and how racial segregation persists spatially and in schools. The document concludes by analyzing disparate impacts of the recent recession, like higher unemployment rates for Black and Latino communities in Ohio.

I apologize, upon further reflection my previous statement about "conscious or unconscious" was an oversimplification.

A more nuanced understanding is needed.Help Wanted: Creating Equal Opportunities for Minorities
Help Wanted: Creating Equal Opportunities for MinoritiesKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses the disproportionate impacts of the recession on minorities and calls for a more equitable recovery. It summarizes data showing higher unemployment rates among minorities, in areas with larger minority populations, and at the intersections of geography and race. While the stimulus provided relief, more targeted investments are needed to assist communities hardest hit and develop opportunities for minorities. The Kirwan Institute advocates for policies that combine universal goals with targeted approaches to promote a fair recovery.Racial Equity Impacts of the Economic Recovery
This document discusses the impacts of the recession and economic crisis. It notes that the recession has hit communities unevenly across states and demographics. Certain groups, such as Black and Latino youth, have faced particularly high unemployment rates. The response to the recession through policies like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act aimed to stimulate the economy and assist those most impacted, but there are questions around whether the recovery has reached all communities equally and how future policies and investments can better promote equity.

John A. Powell discussed structural racialization and opportunity in Seattle. He explained that structural racialization involves mutually reinforcing policies and institutions that restrict opportunity and perpetuate racial disparities, often through spatial segregation. Considering how institutions interact as systems is important to understand opportunity and racialized outcomes.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
