    Gun/Control: The Criminalization of Black Gun Ownership in America

    With tens of thousands of Americans dying every year from gun-related violence, firearm regulation is at the center of American political debate. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court weighed in on this conversation by expanding an individual's right to bear arms under the Second Amendment in New York Rife & Pistol Ass'n v. Bruen (2022). In this episode, we use critical race theory as a tool to explore the history of the Second Amendment, firearm ownership, and gun control policies in the United States. How are firearm regulations bound up in the legal and ideological infrastructure of white supremacy? What does the history of the Second Amendment tell us about race and racism in this country?

In this episode, we talk to Professor Maboula Soumahoro to uncover some of these answers. See more information at https://crt2.podcasts.library.columbia.edu .

    Color Lines: Geography and Racial Control

    The histories of slavery and segregation have not only left distinctions between the economic and social realities of people of different races in the United States, but have literally shaped the geography and environments we live in. Racial identities of different communities and geographies are as obvious as any other physical attributes of the community. Not only to they shape the character and culture of communities, but continued geographic segregation has resulted in health crises and facilitated mass incarceration, particularly in Black communities.

    Intersectionality and Violence Against Women

    This episode of CRT2 spotlights the struggles and fights of marginalized women of color against the backdrop of political and social movements in the US and across the globe. The episode spotlights recent actions taken by women in Mexico to push for protection against all kinds of violence, the long saga of R. Kelly’s sexual assault allegations from Black girls and women, and the #SayHerName movement formed to address the lack of attention given to Black women victims of police violence. We analyze these three stories using the Critical Race Theory concept of “intersectionality”. See more information at https://crt2.podcasts.library.columbia.edu .
