ATR 115 – healthcare protests, racial covering, spanking kids
Is there a racial component to the angry protests over healthcare reform? Is racial “covering” the new racial passing? Why do people of color often find themselves the subject of mistaken identity?

ATR 114 – Statutory rape, race and parenting, Mad Men
When underage black girls date men who are 10 or 20 years older than them, why are the girls blamed for being “fast” instead of the men being called out for preying on children? Why is love not enough when it comes to raising kids? Is the absence of people of color in the AMC series Mad Men an accurate portrayal? Or is the series just trying to duck the race question? Carmen Van Kerckhove, Tami Winfrey Harris, and Maxwell Reddick discuss.

ATR 113 – Whitewashed book covers, street lit, race and family
The protagonist of Justine Larbalestier’s novel Liar is a young black woman with short, natural hair. So why is there a white girl with long, straight hair on the cover? Why does the publishing industry assume that blacks don’t like reading, or only read street lit? What does the story of the reconciliation of one family tell us about how to make progress when it comes to race in America? Carmen Van Kerckhove, Tami Winfrey Harris, Latoya Peterson, and Liz Dwyer discuss.
