#2 - Dr. Susan Smith: The Metaphysics of Race, Whistling Vivaldi, and Racial Inequity in Healthcare The Tyler Baughcome Podcast
-
- Philosophy
Dr. Susan Smith is a senior lecturer in the cognitive science department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. At RPI, Susan teaches a variety of courses, including Bioethics, Philosophy of Race, and Philosophy of Biology and Sex. Her research has largely consisted in the intersection between healthcare and race, and therefore she has a plethora of knowledge on racial inequity in the U.S.'s healthcare system.
I met Susan as a student in her Philosophy of Race class, and though I think the class is a little too consistent with progressive politics, I found myself infinitely more comfortable talking about race afterward. Susan's qualities as a teacher, such as inclination towards empathy, her intelligence, and her passion for social justice are on full display in this episode, and if you're interested in why sickle cell anemia occurs, how whistling Vivaldi can shift people's perception of you, why DEI training doesn't work, what to do instead of these trainings, and what the hell Critical Race Theory actually is.

"For the development of Japanese genius, Japanese literature and art, Japanese spirit, only Japanese, bound and welded together, Japanese inspired by one vast ideal, can work out in its fullness the wonderful message which Japan has for the nations of the earth. For the development of Negro genius, of Negro literature and art, of Negro spirit, only Negroes bound and welded together, Negroes inspired by one vast ideal, can work out in its fullness the great message we have for humanity. We cannot reverse history; we are subject to the same natural laws as other races, and if the Negro is ever to be a factor in the world’s history—if among the gaily-colored banners that deck the broad ramparts of civilization is to hang one uncompromising black, then it must be placed there by black hands, fashioned by black heads and hallowed by the travail of 200,000,000 black hearts beating in one glad song of jubilee." - W. E. B. Du Bois
