About the Project:
The Julian Bond Oral History Project, sponsored by the School of Public Affairs at 麻豆传媒,听documents the professional rise of Julian Bond from his early years in the Atlanta student movement, his work as a founding member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and his rise to national prominence.
---
The above website represents the work I have published to date on my oral history project on the Southern civil rights movement and the legacy of Julian Bond's contribution to it. To date, I have published approximately 30 interviews I conducted between September 2018 and February 2020. The pandemic has put a halt to the project. In addition to the video interviews, I have published corresponding transcripts with footnotes and cross-indexes to other scholarly resources.
The site also features a section called Student Voices, which includes interviews with AU campus leaders, ranging from members of Fossil Free AU, multiple student journalism publications (The Eagle, The Rival and Blackprint), the NAACP campus chapter. I trained students to conduct the interviews and publish their work in a professional format. I also arranged for students to accompany me to interviews with the individuals I documented, which gave them the opportunity to meet some of the most important people from the Southern civil rights movement.听

I began a separate project in August 2020 called "Hidden Civil Rights History." I have published four videos to date with a fifth going up sometime this week. The projects explores landmarks, places, and people in the D.C. area that are important civil rights legacies that do not get the attention they deserve. To date, it has attracted almost 1,500 views. Unlike the Bond/Southern civil rights movement project, this project receives no funding or support from AU. I do introduce each video by mentioning my AU affiliation.
The YouTube version of the Bond/Southern civil rights movement project. To date, views are somewhere around 5,000 and continue to grow. This channel is independent of the website itself.

"Diversity Matters: The Election of Asian 麻豆传媒s to U.S. State and Federal Legislatures"听
Despite substantial research on the causes and consequences of descriptive representation for Blacks and Latinos in U.S. legislatures, we know very little about the electoral conditions under which Asian candidates win office. Leveraging a new and comprehensive dataset on Asian 麻豆传媒 legislators elected from 2011 through 2020, we analyze the impact of intergroup and intragroup diversity on which constituencies elect Asians. We show that, all else equal, Asians win in districts with less 鈥渙wn group鈥 support than Blacks or Latinos. Contrary to competing theories suggesting that Asians win via cross-over appeal to whites, we find that highly diverse constituencies are significantly more likely to send Asians to state and federal legislatures. At the same time, heightened diversity by national origin within the Asian community does not undercut their chances. While surveys show that Asians are more likely to identify by national origin than as Asian, these findings indicate that pan-Asian identity is sufficiently strong that Asians prefer Asians of other national origins to non-Asians. More broadly, this paper points to ways that small, geographically dispersed groups may gain descriptive representation.
鈥淚nclusion by Design鈥
Measuring minority inclusion across countries has been a critical challenge to scholars and to assessing the ability of institutional design models to promote inclusion and prevent ethnic conflict. This project proposes and estimates minority inclusion across a wide range of electoral democracies in order to gain greater purchase on levels of inclusion and how institutional design can enhance it.
鈥淐an Social Science Evidence Be Trusted in Voting Rights Litigation? Ascertaining Whether a Minority Community Will Have an Equal Opportunity to Elect a Candidate of its Choice in a Given Legislative or Congressional District鈥
We address recent skepticism by Chief Justice Roberts about the usefulness of social science tools of analysis in litigation about redistricting. Limiting our discussion to race-related redistricting litigation, we demonstrate that social science methodology has been able to provide reliable information to courts about the success of minority candidates of choice in redrawn or existing districts. In redrawn districts, this predictive success has been found even in the districts where the implemented recommendation of the social science expert was a remedial district in which minorities were less than a majority of the voting age population in the district.

Our programs were founded back in the 1970s and were based on the very conceptual foundations of what diversity and inclusion is all about. We were already doing emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and unconscious bias in the Key classroom in the 70s and it is something that we have continue to this day. Our program is heavily focused on journaling, humble inquiry, mindfulness, meditation, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, vulnerability, social awareness, etc. All of our classes are integrated and feed upon one another so these concepts are built in to our DNA if you will from the orientation all the way through graduation for every program that we manage.
We do have a formal diversity advisory Council which is made up of diversity and inclusion experts from the federal government and the private sector. They oversee all of our curriculum for all of our programs and provide their expertise in helping us create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. They help to review our business processes and our survey tools as well. They also offer a diversity and inclusion segment for every faculty meeting and coaches meeting that we hold each year. In short, they're pretty amazing!
In terms of scholarship, the faculty that write/teach for the Key program are typically practitioner faculty with significant experience in leadership roles in the federal government. We often write articles that are related to self-awareness, bias, and the like. Most of our articles are published in professional journals, not academic peer reviewed journals.
Paul Manuel
Paul Manuel鈥檚 recent scholarship examines the ways in which a variety of players, including government institutions and the nonprofit sector, work to deliver social services to those populations disproportionately impacted by inequities and disparities in income and wealth. He is currently co-editing four volumes in the that examine the delivery of social welfare in comparative perspective. The series also seeks to understand how associational life might be strengthened through the provision of social services by both Christian and Muslim nonprofits, and features case studies from , , Africa, and Latin America.听

- Campus responses to rising hate and polarization. With support from a major foundation, the Polarization and Extremism Research & Innovation Lab (PERIL) is engaged in a 15-month research project to design tools for the higher education sector that provide empirically-tested, pedagogical, policy, and victim-centered responses to rising hate and polarization. Rising extremism directly challenges universities鈥 ongoing efforts to improve racial equity. Students of color are significantly less likely to describe their campus as inclusive and more likely to indicate that they often feel isolated on campus. A wide variety of negative mental health and academic outcomes have been documented for students of color as a result of the experience of racism, micro-aggressions, hyper surveillance, and marginality, in ways that significantly impact long-term patterns of racial inequality in life outcomes. Rising domestic violent extremism and campus polarization will almost certainly make these dynamics worse. College and universities鈥 efforts to address rising hate are plagued by an overall lack of awareness about extremist ideas and the ever-evolving ecosystem of online and offline spaces and places that target college-age youth for recruitment and radicalization to anti-democratic, white supremacist, male supremacist and other extremist ideas. Fostering inclusive racial climates on campus requires addressing both positive needs like improving overall measures of belonging and a sense of support and inclusion as well as efforts to better equip campus leadership, faculty, staff, and students with skills to recognize and respond to extremism. Both efforts are required in order to improve campus climates in ways that will affect racial equity outcomes, including academic performance and retention, and psychological well-being. In the wake of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and increases in extremist propaganda and disinformation, along with ongoing racial injustice protests nation-wide, university campuses will return to in-person learning at a moment of heightened polarization and risk for student and staff radicalization. Campus leadership, faculty, residential life staff, diversity, equity and inclusion staff, and others need tools and guidance to better recognize and respond to extremist radicalization and mobilization. Building on the success of our toolkit project for younger youth and educators, the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL) at 麻豆传媒 launched a research project on June 1, 2021 to design a series of empirically-tested tools and guides for the higher education sector, with specific resources and guidance for pedagogical, policy, and victim-centered responses to rising hate and polarization.
- Building community resilience to extremism and responses to hate. Together with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), PERIL is creating a series of evidence-based tools to equip local communities with tools to recognize and respond to rising hate and extremism in ways that are community oriented, victim and survivor centered, and oriented toward non-carceral solutions. The project launched with a parents and caregivers guide to online radicalization, intended to equip parents with information to recognize warning signs of extremism, respond effectively to victims of hate, and know how to intervene at early stages with children and youth who have been exposed to extremist ideas and propaganda. In Spring 2021, PERIL released a new set of tools for educators and teachers, mental health counselors and adolescent therapists, and coaches and youth leaders to better equip broader communities with tools to recognize and respond to rising hate and extremism. In the coming years, the project will build out empirically-tested e-learning modules, in-person trainings, and peer-to-peer resources, as well as regionally-specific guidance, among other components.
- City employee training on bias and signs of extremism. PERIL is developing a pilot training for city employees and community organizations in order to equip local communities to recognize and respond to hate and extremism at its earliest stages, before radicalization develops toward violent outcomes. The pilot training focuses on equipping participants with the knowledge to identify warning signs and red flags and feel more empowered to intervene with a person who has been exposed to extremist propaganda, conspiracy theories, or disinformation. The goal is to develop empirically tested, scalable and victim-centered strategies to interrupt extremism and hate at their roots and create an alternative local path to the securitized, militarized future that typifies the current federal response to rising extremism. By focusing on education and preventative training as a locally-grounded response to rising national and global extremism and bias, this pilot anti-extremism training produced evidence in Summer 2021 to drive a scale-up for all city employees.
