The history we learn in school shapes our perception of the world around us from an early age. When these stories intentionally center white, male voices, children inherit a narrow view of the world. Dr. Tanishia Williams explored this practice of “curriculum redlining” in New York’s school system and found a severe lack of representation for BIPOC historical figures. #History #Education #Inclusion
Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy
Research
A cross-disciplinary hub that advances research on structural inequalities and identifies new ways to promote equity.
About us
Around the world and across the United States, unjust identity-group-based social stratification harms individuals and communities. To Black people and other people of color, to women, to immigrants, to indigenous peoples, and to many others with social identities deemed different from socially defined dominant groups, society offers less wealth, more discrimination, more violence, worse healthcare, fewer protections, and less economic, cultural, and political power. Social stratification and related belief systems — starting with race, racism, and racial resentment — prevent humane, just, moral decision making. They deter investments in common goods. They threaten democracy itself. Inequalities that formed over centuries cannot be undone with small ideas. Structural problems require transformational ideas grounded in rigorous research. The Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy advances research to understand structural inequalities and works to identify groundbreaking ways to promote equity. A premier cross-disciplinary hub, the Institute draws on faculty across The New School in New York City, which has long fostered innovative thinking about power, structure, design, politics, economics, and society. The Institute engages with researchers and practitioners, including community and business leaders, policymakers, philanthropists and journalists, across the nation and around the world.

📉A decline in marriages. A decline in birth rates. Right-wing voices are sounding the alarm about trends among young women in the U.S., and lawmakers are responding with half-baked proposals that reinforce harmful gender roles. Senior Advisor Julie Kohler calls this the “marriage panic”. #Legislation #Families

Social Security is a lifeline for older Americans, people with disabilities, and grieving families. Privatizing it would be a financial disaster—costing trillions in taxpayer dollars to switch to a riskier system that yields smaller returns. These glaring issues didn’t stop Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent from revealing last week that Trump Accounts are “a backdoor to privatizing Social Security.” Find out more about why this idea would be disastrous for Americans' financial future ⬇️

“While resistance is needed, we must also reconstruct an understanding of human rights in the United States to include economic, social, and cultural rights as well as civil and political rights.” In an article for Open Global Rights, Senior Fellow Todd Howland invokes the legacy of President Jimmy Carter as he makes the case for reimagining the American economy with human rights as a priority.

Since the late 18th century, government officials and academics have proposed policies to help Americans build wealth. The issue? The majority of these policies were designed to exclusively benefit white, male Americans. Baby Bonds offer a more equitable path to help more Americans access the financial resources they need to build generational wealth.

Soaring healthcare costs and irreversible damage to our environment are just two examples of how consumers pay the price for profit-driven corporations. In a new article for Oxford Human Rights Hub, Senior Fellow Todd Howland argues that economies need to put human rights guardrails in place to prevent suffering.

Senate Republicans removed a 10-year ban on state #AI regulations from the budget bill earlier this month, but they’re not ruling out another attempt to pass it. The reality is that a majority of state legislatures have already passed AI regulations, and 81% of Americans oppose a 10-year ban on state AI regulations. Take a look at a few examples of how states are regulating AI. ⬇️

As the Trump administration rolls out Executive Orders that prioritize AI-driven profit over prosperity, we’re calling for a people-centered approach to AI. We’re proud to join 90+ organizations to promote the People’s AI Action Plan. Read more about the plan in The Washington Post: https://lnkd.in/ewg7syqQ #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Tech
The Trump administration’s forthcoming AI Action Plan will center tech industry interests and lead to the unrestrained, unaccountable roll-out of AI into every part of our lives. But the advancement of American AI must deliver first and foremost for the American people; we can't afford to let Big Tech and Big Oil lobbyists write the rules. We’re among the 70+ organizations demanding an AI policy agenda that puts the interests of people first. These organizations all have concrete, actionable ideas for an AI agenda that furthers the interests of everyday people and challenges the tech billionaire agenda we’ll see from the White House.
