Antiracist Research and Practice for Environmental Health: Implications for Community Engagement.

Communities who experience disproportionate environmental exposures and associated adverse health outcomes have long been aware of, and worked to draw attention to, the role of racism in shaping those risks. A growing number of researchers are focusing on racism as a fundamental driver of racial inequities in environmental health. Importantly, several research and funding institutions have publicly committed to addressing structural racism within their organizations. These commitments highlight structural racism as a social determinant of health. They also invite reflection on antiracist approaches to community engagement in environmental health research. We discuss strategies for taking more explicitly antiracist approaches to community engagement in environmental health research. Antiracist (as opposed to nonracist, color-blind, or race-neutral) frameworks entail thinking or acting in ways that explicitly question, analyze, and challenge policies and practices that produce or sustain inequities between racial groups. Community engagement is not inherently antiracist. There are, however, opportunities for extending antiracist approaches when engaging communities who are disproportionately harmed by environmental exposures. Those opportunities include a) promoting leadership and decision-making power by representatives from harmed communities, b) centering community priorities in identifying new research areas, and c) translating research into action by applying knowledge from multiple sources to disrupt policies and practices that create and sustain environmental injustices. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP11384.

KEY THEMES AND TRENDS IN RESEARCH ON BLACK GIRL LEADERSHIP: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

This systematic review is critical as it sheds light on a neglected area of research: the experiences of Black girls in leadership positions. While there is a growing body of literature on leadership and gender, race, and ethnicity, the experiences of Black girls in leadership roles have received less attention. This study addresses this gap in the literature by conducting a comprehensive analysis of research on Black girl leadership from 2000 to 2020.The problem that this systematic review address is the longstanding neglect of the experiences of Black girls in leadership positions. Despite the growing attention to issues of diversity and inclusion in leadership, the experiences of Black girls have been consistently overlooked and understudied.A systematic search was conducted in ERIC (Education Resources Information Center), Scopus and Google Scholar for articles published from 2000 to December 2020. The reference lists of the included studies were also searched to retrieve possible additional studies.The systematic review analyzed 9 articles and found six main themes in Black girl leadership: mentoring, oppression, intersectionality, underrepresentation, support networks, and the role of race. Each theme provided valuable insights into the experiences, challenges, and potentials of Black girls in leadership roles.The findings of this systematic review have important implications for researchers, policymakers, and educators working to promote equity and inclusion in leadership. Policymakers and educators can use this information to develop targeted interventions and programs to support Black girls in leadership positions.

Doctrinal Instability in Contextual Race-Conscious Review: The Continuing Legacy of the Korematsu Court’s Ultra-Deference Standard

The judicial tools of standards of review are designed to recognize historical inequities by applying heightened burdens of proof for discrimination and the abridgment of constitutional rights. In this Article, I argue that, in the past twenty-seven years since Adarand Constructors v. Peña, the Supreme Court’s contextual application of strict scrutiny for race and national origin discrimination has evolved to a point of instability, rendering its outcomes indeterminate. This instability is a result of our national conflict over when and how to use race to remedy race-based discrimination.The Court has selectively applied different standards of deferenced epending on the reasons that the government uses race. In applying these standards, the Court treats governmental use of race, whether benign or invidious, as two sides of the same problem, when in fact they are distinct legal questions. In other words, the Court treats the use of race as suspect regardless of its remedial application. This universalist approach has been defended as the best method to address and capture the complexity of different contexts. However, the universalist approach at its core, represents two diametrically opposed viewpoints on the role of race in American society.This inconsistency extends back before Adarand to the 1942 Korematsu v. U.S. decision. Since Korematsu, the Court has overwhelmingly given substantial deference—what I refer to as ultra-deference—to government rationales of national security and safety over the interest of civil liberties and civil rights protections for minorities and marginalized groups. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, this practice of ultra-deference has become firmly established in regulatory and jurisprudential practices. Most recently, the principles of Korematsu reappeared in the 2018 Trump v. Hawaii decision. Justice Robert’s opinion reflects that, even when presented with clear and convincing evidence of religious and national origin discrimination that should trigger a higher standard of strict scrutiny, ultra-deferential justices are willing to imply a presumption of a rational basis for government justifications.This ultra-deference occurs despite insufficient facts to satisfy the standard threshold for the discharge of the government’s burden of proof when its policy discriminates on the basis of race and national origin. Ultradeference is manifested in the mechanics of when, whether, and how to apply the strict scrutiny standard of review to suspect classifications of race and national origin. Ultra-deference to national security and safety rationales has been most often used in cases involving politically sensitive issues such as immigration. It has been presumed in cases where the Court deemed the national security interest of paramount importance to outweigh evidence of even invidious motivation, let alone disparate impact.While others may argue that a contextual application of strict scrutiny is an appropriate individualized response to the diversity of factual scenario striggering the suspect classification of race, such deference is in direct contrast to the universalist application of strict scrutiny to race-conscious policies regardless of benign, remedial, or invidious purposes. This inconsistency raises the importance of a thorough legal analysis of the role that implicit bias plays when there is clear evidence of disparate impact on the basis of race or national origin.

"That Wasa State of Depression by Itself Dealing with Society": Atmospheric racism, mental health, and the Black and African American faith community.

Despite increased societal focus on structural racism, and its negative impact on health, empirical research within mental health remains limited relative to the magnitude of the problem. The current study-situated within a community-engaged project with members of a predominantly Black and African American church in the northeastern US-collaboratively examined depressive experience, recovery, and the role of racism and racialized structures. This co-designed study featured individual interviews (N = 11), a focus group (N = 14), and stakeholder engagement. A form of qualitative, phenomenological analysis that situates psychological phenomena within their social structural contexts was utilized. Though a main focal point of the study was depressive and significantly distressing experience, participant narratives directed us more towards a world that was structured to deplete and deprive-from basic neighborhood conditions, to police brutality, to workplace discrimination, to pervasive racist stereotypes, to differential treatment by health and social services. Racism was thus considered as atmospheric, in the sense of permeating life itself-with social, affective, embodied, and temporal dimensions, alongside practical (e.g., livelihood, vocation, and care) and spatial (e.g., neighborhood, community, and work) ones. The major thematic subsections-world, body, time, community, and space-reflect this fundamental saturation of racism within lived reality. There are two, interrelated senses of structural racism implicated here: the structures of the world and their impact on the structural dimensions of life. This study on the atmospheric nature of racism provides a community-centered complement to existing literature on structural racism and health that often proceed from higher, more population level scales. This combined literature suggests placing ever-renewed emphasis on addressing the causes and conditions that make this kind of distorted world possible in the first place.

“Are You Saying That We’re Racist?”: Comparing Normative, Political, and Technical Dimensions of Instructional and Disciplinary Policies

Background: In recent years, school districts have experienced a complex policy environment with myriad reforms aimed at addressing longstanding and historically entrenched disparities in opportunities and outcomes between racially minoritized students and White students. One such reform is standards-based accountability, with its emphasis on documenting and addressing racial disparities in testing outcomes. Recently, educators and lawmakers have sought to address persistent racial disproportionality in disciplinary actions. New behavioral policies may be seen as a response to national attention and outrage regarding the “school-to-prison pipeline,” which indicates that school discipline practices contribute to the over-representation of Black men in the criminal justice system. In recent years, local leaders have been tasked with implementing new disciplinary reforms alongside their ongoing efforts at instructional improvement. Purpose: As districts face an increasingly complex policy environment and constrained resources, researchers must understand how district leaders make sense of and manage the varied policies they are tasked with implementing. This study contributes to the knowledge base on K–12 policy implementation by examining how school district leaders manage multiple policies—particularly when some new practices engage beliefs around racial discrimination or structural racism. We contribute to the gap in the literature by asking: What differences emerged in the early implementation processes of an instructional policy and a discipline policy in the Elmwood school district, and what might explain those differences? Research Design: To answer this question, we employ a comparative, embedded case study design and examine extensive qualitative data from a single school district. Oakes’s (1992) framework of technical, normative, and political dimensions of policy change guided the analysis and was applied to rich interview data. Conclusions: Overall, our findings highlight significant differences in how Elmwood leadership implemented the two policies. Our study indicates that though both instructional and disciplinary reforms purport to address racial outcome gaps, district leaders may view discipline in a racialized way that they do not view instructional policy. The perceived racialized nature of discipline policy may significantly influence implementation practices. Ultimately, the data suggests that racialized normative beliefs and values, along with political and technical investments, greatly influence the implementation process and raise larger questions about the role of racism in education reform.

What's Eating Dad? Father Hunger and Hybridity in Viola Chandra's Medium Light with Nuts

Abstract In this article, I examine the work of Gabriella Kuruvilla and engage closely with father-daughter eating disorder theory in order to elucidate the significant factors that affect the precarious eating behavior of the protagonist Valentina. In doing so, I illuminate how patriarchal thinking is at play in the protagonist's own construction of her eating disorder narrative. Finally, I consider the role of race and ethnicity in the eating disorder equation so as to illuminate the failure of Valentina's parents to accept her hybrid identity as both Indian and Italian, which, in turn, fuels her sense of Otherness and fragmentation.

Flashpoint: How a Little-Known Sporting Event Fueled America's Anti-Apartheid Movement

Sports, race, and politics are deeply intertwined—just ask Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Naomi Osaka, or Colin Kaepernick. Derek Charles Catsam, an accomplished historian of race, social movements, and sports in South Africa, the United States, and globally, has authored an easy-to-read, fascinating, if perhaps misnamed, book. The book's subtitle contends the 1981 U.S. tour of the legendary South African rugby team, nicknamed the Springboks, “fueled America's anti-apartheid movement.” More accurately, the book focuses on the sociopolitical roles of rugby in South Africa and the world, including how antiapartheid activists targeted the sport because of its importance to white South Africans, particularly Afrikaners. Following a preface celebrating the first Black Springboks captain, only appointed in 2018, a strong introduction outlines the Springboks' U.S. tour, U.S. foreign policy toward apartheid South Africa and how Ronald Reagan's election changed the equation, America's nascent antiapartheid movement, sports boycotts in the global struggle against apartheid, white South Africa's fierce resistance to change, and the role of race in American sports. Subsequent chapters cover planning for the Springboks' U.S. tour, an Irish rugby tour to South Africa in 1981, the Springboks' 1981 New Zealand tour—which saw massive protests that rocked the nation—and the book culminates with several chapters on the Springboks' U.S. tour, with matches in Racine, Wisconsin, Albany, and tiny Glenville, New York. The U.S.-focused chapters present a blow-by-blow account of the planning of the events as well as the protests. The “Boks” destroyed every American team and, since rugby was an incredibly obscure sport in the United States, these matches drew only a handful of fans. For those interested in a film on antiapartheid protests of the Springboks, Connie Field's documentary series, Have You Heard from Johannesburg (2010), includes a wonderful episode, “Fair Play,” on Springbok tours to Australia, England, and New Zealand.

Spillover of Vaccine Hesitancy into Adult COVID-19 and Influenza: The Role of Race, Religion, and Political Affiliation in the United States.

Due to its potential to lead to vaccine delays and refusals, vaccine hesitancy has attracted increased attention throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. It is crucial to investigate whether demographic patterns differ between adult general vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 and flu vaccine non-receipt. A cross-sectional survey was conducted online in August 2022. In response to questions about vaccine hesitancy, participants indicated whether they would receive the vaccine given various safety and efficacy profiles. Through logistic regression models, we examined variations between general vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 non-vaccination. Among the 700 participants, 49% of the respondents were classified as having general vaccine hesitancy, 17% had not received the COVID-19 vaccine, and 36% had not had flu vaccinations. In the multivariable analysis, general vaccine hesitancy and the non-receipt of COVID-19 vaccines were significantly higher in Non-Hispanic Black participants, those with no religious affiliation, and Republicans and Independents. Patterns of vaccine hesitancy and the non-receipt of the COVID-19 vaccination did not vary, indicating a substantial overlap and potential spillover in vaccine hesitancy over the course of the pandemic. Because changing people's opinions regarding vaccinations is generally a challenge, different interventions specific to demographic subgroups may be necessary.

Abstract IA008: Role of race in accelerating progression of colorectal cancer

Abstract African Americans present earlier in age and have higher incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC) compared to Whites. Socioeconomic inequality in the US that leads to higher comorbid illness among African Americans is likely a driver. Subsequent biological differences in African Americans include higher risk adenoma precursors that are more often proximally located in the colon, low microstatellite instability prevalence, and deficient immunologic profiles compared to Whites that contribute to cancer progression and outcome. Screening for CRC among African Americans had been recommended by some organizations to commence at age 45 or 40 years due to the observed epidemiology; this was not implemented until the US Preventive Services Task Force recommended CRC screening to commence at age 45 years for all races and ethnicities in 2021.Screening for CRC is one modality of intervention that can eliminate disparities; both colonoscopic and non-invasive screening have been shown to eliminate incidence and mortality differences between African Americans and Whites when using navigation. Recent gains in screening utilization among African Americans compared to Whites might be erased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Navigated non-invasive CRC screening might help the unevenness of preventive services recovery from the pandemic if it can be fully implemented. Citation Format: John M. Carethers.

Black Liberation and Political Education: The Valorizing of Afro-Ecuadorian Thought

Moving beyond the nominal recognition of Black lives toward a struggle for Black liberation raises several challenges, one of which is the critical role of political education. For this reason, this article explores Euromodernity’s constructions and sustenance of apolitical educational arrangements that constrain political speech fundamental to a democratic education. It argues, among other things, that the primacy of capitalist logics in education forecloses salient political questions and the role of racism in sustaining the relationship between exploitative capitalism and schooling. The essay critically examines the unthinking subject as a product of miseducation, and as such, miseducation becomes fundamentally antipolitical and serves as a form of dehumanization. This means repoliticizing education for racial liberation mandates centering Black valuation in educational arrangements. In applied terms, the article offers an examination of participatory action research as an approach to the repoliticization of education.

Success or Self-Sufficiency? The Role of Race in Refugees’ Long-Term Economic Outcomes

AbstractThe United States has always prided itself as providing safe haven to those who are persecuted. Yet, the United States did not develop policy for admitting and resettling refugees until 1980. Unlike Asians and Europeans, African refugees in the 1980s were chosen primarily based on skill, but no research thus far examines whether this strategy led to greater long-term economic success for African refugees. This article examines racial differences in refugees’ likelihood of living in poverty, receiving welfare income, engaging in full-time employment and wages between 1990 and 2019. I find that refugees show improvement in all four outcomes. African refugees, however, earn less than nearly all other groups in all time periods suggesting blocked mobility, particularly among men. Analyses focus on the 1982–1987 entry cohort of refugees who had access to more assistance than future cohorts. Consequently, these findings likely show the best-case scenario for refugees’ long-term economic outcomes.

Differential Profile of Primary and Recurrent Ameloblastomas Among Afro-descendants and Non-Afro-descendants-a Systematic Review.

Ameloblastoma is an aggressively growing jaw tumor with high recurrent properties. Reports on global and racial distribution of ameloblastoma are variable and inconclusive. The role of race and ethnicity on ameloblastoma growth characteristics, genetic mutational profile, and recurrence is also still unclear. The primary aim of this systematic review was to assess genetic, racial, and ethnic distribution of primary and recurrent ameloblastoma from published literature. The secondary aim was to assess potential correlations between ethnicity, genetic mutation, and disparities in ameloblastoma treatment outcomes in Afro-descendants and non-Afro-descendants. Twenty-three eligible articles were selected based on preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA), and a total of 169 ameloblastoma cases were evaluated. Data on patient demographics, ameloblastoma growth characteristics, and genetic status were collected for quantitative analysis. Among a total of 169 ameloblastoma cases, Afro-descendant patients had higher primary and recurrent ameloblastomas at 15.5% and 4.7% respectively compared to non-Afro-descendant at 10.7% and 1.8% respectively. Additionally, BRAF V600E was positively associated with 48.8% of all ameloblastomas and strong predilection for Afro-descendants. Despite the paucity of information on genetic profile of ameloblastomas in the Afro-descendant patient cohort, this ethnic group still accounted for 2.95% of all BRAF V600E-positive tumors. These suggest that Afro-descendants are understudied regarding ameloblastoma characteristics, genetic profile, and recurrence profile. Mutational analysis of ameloblastoma tumors in Afro-descendants should be promoted.

About This Issue

About This Issue David J. Endres In the past decades, cultural and demographic shifts have significantly reshaped U.S. Catholic parish life. Thousands of parishes have been closed or consolidated, mostly in New England and the Great Lakes states. At the same time, new congregations have formed in the American South and Southwest, especially as immigration and regional relocation has brought new and larger populations. This theme issue explores parishes and the communities they serve. It is particularly attentive to the realities of growth and decline and the role of race and ethnicity in those shifts. Worth K.

Visualizing Beliefs in Biological Racial Difference and Ordering across Europe

The author plots the proportions of people in 20 European countries who believe in biological racial differences, contributing to debates about the role of race and racism in Europe: whether Europeans think in biological racial terms and whether thinking about racism is an adequate framework in the European context. The main new insight is simply providing concrete empirical evidence that beliefs in biological race are widely spread in Europe. Second, this visualization highlights that ideas about races being born “more hardworking” are a more socially acceptable and widely spread form of belief in racial differences than beliefs in races being born “less intelligent”. Third, it shows how the difference between the two types of biological racial beliefs organizes countries into an east-west axis, whereas no such division is apparent when looking only at the magnitudes of the proportions of people who hold racial beliefs.

Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and sleep duration among adult men: the role of race and ethnicity

Less attention has been given to the relationship between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and sleep among adult men, even though they are a group that consumes a large amount of sugar-sweetened beverages and who has worse sleep duration than women. The purpose of the current study is to explore the association between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and sleep duration and to investigate how the relationship differs by race and ethnicity among adult men. The current study employed a secondary dataset—the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 for Children and Young Adults. A total of 2609 participants were selected for analysis. A moderation model was employed to explore the moderating effect of race and ethnicity on the relationship between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and sleep duration. The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages among adult men was negatively related to their sleep duration (p &lt; 0.01). The association between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and sleep duration among adult men was moderated by Hispanic identity (p &lt; 0.05). Unlike for White adult men, whose sleep duration may be significantly affected by the reduced consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, addressing other factors such as stress associated with discrimination in the workplace or the job market may be more important to enhance Hispanic adult men’s sleep duration. Alternative options such as unsweetened teas, 100% fruit juice, or water may be emphasized in education may be emphasized to substitute at least some sugar-sweetened beverages to improve adult men’s poor sleep duration.

Second Neoplasms in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: The Role of Race

Aim: Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, (DLBCL) have an increased risk to develop a second neoplasm (SN). Multiple factors have been considered at risk: age, familial history, smoking, use of alkylating agents, or etoposide at increased doses, and especially radiotherapy. Moreover, most of the studies have been performed in USA and Europe countries, with a preponderance of white population. The aim of the study is analyze a large number of patients with DLBCL in a search to define the presence of SN in a Mestizo population. Patients and Methods: Electronic files of patients with pathological confirmed diagnosis of DLBCL, treated in our hospital between August 1988 to December 2020; age> 18 years age treated, with combined chemotherapy that were in complete response for at least 3 years. Probably factors associated were analyzed. Median follow-up were 22.4 (range 3.1 to 31.8) years. Results: A total of 9316 patients were evaluated, only 16 cases (0.16%) developed SN. Neither of previous mentioned risks factors: age, gender, smoking doses of chemotherapeutic drugs, alkylating agents, use of radiotherapy, advance stage, elevated International Prognostic index, history of cancer, not were associated to the development of a SN, only race were different, 98 % of our patients were mestizo race. Until now race has not been considered as a factor to be associated with the development of a SN. Conclusion: The unique differences in large number of cases and longer follow-up, was that the presence of an non-white populations, thus it is appear that in an Mestizo population race could have any protective possibility.

REEXAMINING RACE AND ETHNICITY FROM A STRUCTURAL RACISM AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH LENS IN COHORT STUDIES

Abstract To advance research on the role of race, ethnicity, and structural racism in health disparities, recent calls-to-action have described methods to correct race and ethnicity categorization and to measure structural and social determinants of health (SSDOH). Following the rapid advance in the understanding of race and SSDOH, long running cohort studies typically lack access to this novel data, which has limited SSDOH evidence to cross-sectional and ecological associations. We implemented methods to rectify this data gap in prospective cohort studies, using The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) cohort of women age 50–79 years at baseline as a case study. We evaluated the quality, precision, and representativeness of race, ethnicity, and SSDOH data compared with the target US population and operationalized methods to quantify structural determinants in cohort studies. The use of a revised race and ethnicity categorization aligned with theory-based recommendations and improved measurement precision, including decreasing missing data and participants reporting “other” race. The revised categorization was harmonized to the US Census permitting description of the generalizability of WHI race and ethnicity groups in relation to the target population of US women. We found that WHI women reflected broader trends to the target population in relation to structural racism between race and ethnicity groups, while mean rates of SSDOH were systematically more advantageous in WHI. These results underscore the need to implement theoretically justified race and ethnicity measurement to accurately investigate the intersectional role of SSDOH underlying racial and ethnic health disparities among older age women.

Prioritization of carceral spending in U.S. cities: Development of the Carceral Resource Index (CRI) and the role of race and income inequality.

Policing, corrections, and other carceral institutions are under scrutiny for driving health harms, while receiving disproportionate resources at the expense of prevention and other services. Amidst renewed interest in structural determinants of health, roles of race and class in shaping government investment priorities are poorly understood. Based on the Social Conflict Model, we assessed relationships between city racial/ economic profiles measured by the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) and budgetary priorities measured by the novel Carceral Resource Index (CRI), contrasting investments in carceral systems with funding for health and social support across the 50 most populous cities in the United States (U.S.). Bivariate correlations, and unadjusted and adjusted polynomial regression models were used to assess the relationship between budgetary investments and population concentration at extremes in terms of income, racial/ethnic composition, and education, controlling for other demographic characteristics. In our sample, median CRI was -0.59 (IQR -0.64, -0.45), with only seven cities exhibiting positive CRI values. This indicates that most large U.S. cities spend more on carceral systems than on health and supportive services, combined. Adjusted polynomial models showed a convex relationship between the CRI and ICE-Education, and ICE-Race(White vs. Black)+Income, with quadratic terms that were positive and significant at p<0.05. After controlling for age, the strongest prioritization of carceral systems was observed in cities where the proportion of low-income Black residents approached or exceeded that of high-income white residents. Municipal prioritization of carceral investments over health and social support is pervasive in the U.S and exacerbated by racial and economic disparities. The CRI offers new opportunities to understand the role of government investments as a structural determinant of health and safety. Longitudinal research is warranted to examine the relationship between budget priorities, structural racism, and health outcomes.

What is the role of race in educational psychology? A review of research in Educational Psychologist

Acknowledging that educational psychologists should be deliberate in integrating race-related issues in their research, we aim to examine the extent to which articles published in Educational Psychologist issues to date have done so. Based on an iterative search using Boolean/phrase search terms minority, ethnicity, race, culture, equity, justice, racial and ethnic, thirty-one articles (3.2% of all articles published from 1963 to 2022) met the selection criteria, with twelve of these appearing in special issues devoted specifically to race and ethnicity. Review and analyses demonstrated that the articles addressed four major themes, namely: evolving conceptualization of race, ethnicity, and culture; psychological processes; cultural, contextual, and structural factors; and methodology. From 1990 to 2022 there was and is a growing awareness for greater conceptual clarity in defining race and race-related constructs. During this time period, articles reviewed suggest a growing realization of the need to take a more situated perspective and to utilize a broader repertoire of research methods in educational psychology research. No specific trends were observed across articles in the psychological issues discussed in Educational Psychologist. We conclude with recommendations for enabling the journal and the field to become more race-focused for promoting anti-racist education.
