SUMMARY:The Persistence of Racial Inequality
DESCRIPTION:The seemingly intractable problem of racial inequality in the United States—despite periods of tremendous progress—is evident in numerous measures of disparity (poverty rates\, educational achievement\, household net worth\, homicide and imprisonment rates\, and much more). The question is why racial inequality persists. \nOn October 14\, 2020\, Alondra Nelson\, president of the Social Science Research Council; Joshua Cohen\, academic faculty\, Apple University; Francis Fukuyama\, Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow\, Freeman Spogli Institute\, Stanford University; and Glenn C. Loury\, Merton P. Stoltz Professor of the Social Sciences\, Brown University\, considered this question and discussed social policy remedies to promote racial equality and the flourishing of Black Americans\, in a conversation moderated by Margaret Levi\, director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS). \n\nThis event was hosted by CASBS in partnership with the Social Science Research Council’s Inequality Initiative and the Center on Democracy\, Development and the Rule of Law at Stanford University\, as part of CASBS’s Social Science for a World in Crisis series.

Pardee Professor and Dean of the Graduate School of Education\nUniversity of California\, Berkeley\nUnited States \nPawan Dhingra\nProfessor of American Studies and Faculty Equity and Inclusion Officer\nAmherst College\nUnited States \nNasima Hassan\nAcademic and author\nUnited Kingdom \nModerated by Alondra Nelson\nPresident\, Global Publishing\nSAGE Publishing \nIntroduced by Ziyad Marar\nPresident\, Social Science Research Council\nHarold F. Linder Professor\, Institute for Advanced Study \nThis program is presented as part of the Social Science Research Council’s Inequality Initiative\, a series of programs and projects that bring innovative social science analysis to bear on our understanding of the roots and consequences of unequal participation in political\, economic\, and social systems across the globe. \nWatch the Event \nAbout the Speakers\nPrudence L. Carter is the E.H. and Mary E. Pardee Professor and dean of the Graduate School of Education at Berkeley. Dean Carter’s expertise centers on issues of youth identity and race\, class\, and gender; urban poverty; social and cultural inequality; the sociology of education; and mixed research methods. Specifically\, she examines academic and mobility differences shaped by the effects of race\, ethnicity\, class\, and gender. Dean Carter earned a PhD in sociology from Columbia University. She is author of Keepin’ It Real: School Success beyond Black and White and Stubborn Roots: Race\, Culture\, and Inequality in U.S. and South African Schools. Before being named dean at Berkeley\, she was the Jacks Family Professor of Education and professor of sociology (by courtesy) at Stanford University. Dean Carter is an elected member of the National Academy of Education and the Sociological Research Association and a fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She also serves on the Board of Trustees for the William T.

He is a former curator at the Smithsonian Institution. He has been published in the New York Times\, CNN\, and elsewhere\, and his work has been profiled in the Washington Post\, the Wall Street Journal\, National Public Radio\, the White House forum on AAPI heritage\, and other venues. He is a multiple award-winning author whose latest book is Hyper Education: Why Good Schools\, Good Grades\, and Good Behavior Are Not Enough\, which author Min Jin Lee described as a “fascinating exploration [that] gets to the root of education obsessions.” He also appears in the Netflix documentary Spelling the Dream. An award-winning teacher\, he has held tenured positions at Tufts University and Oberlin College. \nNasima Hassan\, originally from Lancashire\, has worked in secondary school teaching humanities\, in teacher training\, and in strategic management in higher education. She has worked extensively overseas supporting teachers’ professional development in India (Bangalore)\, South Africa (Kwazulu Natal)\, and most recently in conjunction with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Malaysia.

SUMMARY:Electoral Anxieties: November 3rd and Its Aftermaths
DESCRIPTION:The stresses and strains on US democracy\, building over decades\, have reached an apex with the upcoming presidential election in ways that are unprecedented and daunting. Real fears of voter suppression\, unfounded suspicions of voter fraud\, and the effects of disinformation hover over November 3\, 2020. Genuine uncertainty characterizes what may follow. Will the results be accepted? Will a transition be orderly if the incumbent loses? \nIn recent years\, the SSRC Anxieties of Democracy program has been preoccupied with the long-term fracturing of the democratic status quo\, and what can be done to both secure and deepen democracy in ways that serve the public good. This roundtable brings into conversation three experts who bring diverse historical\, structural\, and comparative perspectives on democratic anxieties in the United States and elsewhere\, as well as keen insight into the moment we are now experiencing. Professors Han\, Levitsky\, and Pildes will give “lightning talks” on electoral and constitutional law\, social mobilization and political participation\, and how the current American electoral maelstrom looks in light of the fragility of democracies around the globe. Following initial questions to the panelists from AOD advisory committee co-chairs John Ferejohn and Deborah Yashar\, SSRC President Alondra Nelson will then moderate a discussion on which anxieties most deserve our focus\, and what might be done to strengthen American democracy in the immediate and long-term aftermath of November 3\, 2020.
