How can we change the narrative about what it means and what it takes for people to be safe?
How can we restore the protections of citizens from the harm and violence caused by the state?
How can academic research lead to real change?
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, anti-racism educator, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Dr. Terence Keel, author of Divine Variations: How Christian Thought Became Racial Science.
They dive into his research around falsified death reports for people that were killed by state or police violence during arrests or while in custody. Listen as they discuss how there are committed communities who have been doing this activist work, who are already doing it, and the importance of getting more people in numbers to build power to make real change.
Dr. Terence Keel is a Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of African American Studies and the UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics. He also directs the UCLA Lab for BioCritical Studies and serves as the Advisor for Structural Competency and Innovation for the UCLA Simulation Center at the David Geffen School of Medicine. After earning a BA in Theology from Xavier, he received a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School and completed a PhD from Harvard University working with the Committee on the Study of Religion, the Department of the History of Science, and the Department of African American Studies.
