Here’s this week’s synopsis:
Race is central to American politics but how, exactly, do race and racism influence our politics? For example: how does a candidate’s race influence how we evaluate them? How do campaigns use race to influence our beliefs? How do racial attitudes and racism influence what policies we prefer? Our partisan identities? Or even whether we vote at all?This week on Ask a Political Scientist we welcome Vincent Hutchings, Ph.D. (Michigan), expert on the intersections of public opinion, race, and politics, and Chinisha Scott, artist, activist, and candidate for office, to discuss the role of race in American politics and how we can make progress towards racial justice.
