  • society for maternal fetal medicine smfm special statement race in maternal fetal medicine research dispelling myths and taking an accurate anti racist approach
    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2021
    Co-Authors: Sarahn M Wheeler, Allison S Bryant, Elizabeth A Bonney, Elizabeth A Howell
    Abstract:

    Profound inequities in maternal and infant outcomes based on race exist, and the maternal-fetal medicine community has an important role in eliminating these disparities. Accurately employing race and ethnicity as social constructs within research that guides clinical practice is essential to achieving health equity. We must abandon commonly propagated myths that race is a surrogate for genetics or economic status and that data are exempt from potential bias. These myths can lead to harmful misconceptions that exacerbate racial disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes. Further, these myths obscure racism as the true underlying etiology of racial disparities. Understanding that race is a social construct and utilizing an anti-racist approach to research are essential in combatting racism and eliminating unacceptable disparities in maternal and infant health. This document provides specific suggestions to approach the research process with an anti-racist framework.

  • everyday racism in a culture of political avoidance civil society speech and taboo
    Social Problems, 1999
    Co-Authors: Nina Eliasoph
    Abstract:

    This ethnographic study brings together theories of civil society and race scholarship, to ask how people talk about race in conversations that are not exclusively devoted to talking about race. In theory, civic participation in voluntary associations expands citizens' horizons; but in practice, thoughtful conversation about race can be impossible in public. In showing this process, the two U.S. civic groups studied here become springboards for refining theories of civic culture and ideology. Recent race scholarship examines racial discourse as a language that structures thought; few have asked how the very act of speaking about race can mean something in itself. The whites in these two groups were “doing things with words” together, using references to race as “moves in games.” Avoidance of public speech was not just a result of participants' way of “ thinking through race,” not primarily the symptom of a bond of shared, secret racism. It was a bond of interactional norms, that revealed members' understanding of the very meaning of public speech itself, showing what they assumed the nature of the civic forum itself was. Paradoxically, in the two voluntary associations, members who could voice anti-racist sentiments in private, “backstage” settings could not do so in more public, “frontstage” settings. The very act of speaking carried meaning itself; theorizing this meaning-making can help us understand civic life and the reproduction of racism in it.
