    ETHICS OWNERS A New Model of Organizational Responsibility in Data-Driven Technology Companies Emanuel Moss Jacob Metcalf September 2020 Author: Emanuel Moss, doctoral candidate in Anthropology, CUNY Graduate Center, New York. Author: Jacob Metcalf, PhD, 2010, Philosophy, University of California, Santa Cruz. ETHICS OWNERS - 1 - PREFACE he world has moved in remarkable ways since this research Twas first initiated in late 2018 and the analysis was finalized in early-2020. Since then, we have seen the COVID-19 pandemic and the resurgence of the #BlackLivesMatter movement following the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and all too many others. Given these critical events, we as researchers and as members of a research organization paused to reflect on how our work speaks to the urgent injustices laid bare today. These events have dramatically foregrounded existing calls for jus- tice at the intersections of technology, unjust social and political structures, digital privacy, surveillance, and the values and purpose of technology corporations. Many of the defining events that have shaped ethics in the tech sector in recent years—including tech worker organization, walkouts and resignations over military con- tracts, continued contestations over racial and sexual harassment inside of tech companies, legislation and regulations, and critical audits—have been and continue to be the contentious background to the research conducted for this report. Our research takes place amidst, but is not primarily about, these tectonic changes that have repeatedly reframed the broader tech ethics conversation. It is in- stead about the ways those inside of tech companies have begun reshaping corporate practices against this background—how they understand the problems their industry faces, the means at their disposal to address these problems, and the lines of thought that shape those understandings.

  • “I'm Not Racist; Some of My Best Friends Are .
    ESSAY 25 “I’m Not Racist; Some of My Best Friends Are . ” Debunking the Friends Defense and Revisiting Allyship in the Post-Obama Era Cherise A. Harris distribute Connecticut College or f all the names White Americans could be called in American society, racist ranks as one of the worst. As psychology professor Beverly Daniel Tatum says, “The word racist holds a lot of emotional power. For many White O people, to be called racist is the ultimatepost, insult” (Tatum, 1997). One of the reasons why the term is considered anathema by most Whites is because of the images it con- jures in the public imagination. For example, in Joe Feagin and Hernán Vera’s (2000) book White Racism, one of their White respondents referred to Blacks a number of times as “apes” and admitted that her parents “always instilled in me that blacks aren’t equal,” but she nevertheless maintained: “I don’t consider myself racist . when I think of the word racist, I think of KKK [Ku Klux Klan], people in white robes burn- ing black people oncopy, crosses and stuff, or I think of the Skinheads or some exaggerated form of racism” (pp. 215–216; see also Ashmore, 2009; Culp, 1993). Essentially, many Whites are reluctant to admit their racial prejudices and instead believe that “racism does not exist among the people of goodwill in America, who include most Americans. Racismnot and white supremacy are relegated in our time to the David Dukes and the few white supremacists” (Culp, 1993, pp. 211–212; see also Feagin, 2013).

  • Introduction
    Introduction Welcome to Post-Racial America As my son and I walked down the street, taking our usual route with our dog, we crossed paths with a man I’d never seen in our neighbor- hood before. He appeared to be white and seemed to be looking for something specific, as if he needed directions. He smiled at us as we approached, looked at the dog, and asked from a few yards away, “What breed is that?” I told him she was a mix: “Australian Shepherd and Bea- gle, or so we were told by the dog rescue society.” He petted her, smiled, and then looked me right in the face to ask his next question: “What kind of mix are you?” Just another day in post-racial America, I thought. *** How is it that in what’s termed “post-racial America,” people seem to keep finding ways to keep talking about race? Race is a common topic of conversation and a predictable source of moments of confusion and comedy, as well as of desolation and violence. We are regularly told that things have changed—we are now “post-race”—but exactly how and why those changes have come about and what the changes mean are matters of continuing debate. In mundane and formal settings, citizens confront >> 1 9780814762899_squires text.indd 1 1/30/14 1:50 PM 2 << Introduction race in subtle and obvious ways every day. From celebrations of the inau- guration of the first black president to news of a neo-Nazi attack in Nor- way, race and racism remain salient features of our world.

  • Eddie Murphy in the Cut: Race, Class, Culture, and 1980S Film Comedy

McFarland Georgia State University Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/aas_theses Recommended Citation McFarland, Gail A., "Eddie Murphy In The Cut: Race, Class, Culture, And 1980s Film Comedy." Thesis, Georgia State University, 2019. https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/aas_theses/59 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Department of African-American Studies at ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. It has been accepted for inclusion in African-American Studies Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. EDDIE MURPHY IN THE CUT: RACE, CLASS, CULTURE, AND 1980S FILM COMEDY by GAIL A. MCFARLAND Under the Direction of Lia T. Bascomb, PhD ABSTRACT Race, class, and politics in film comedy have been debated in the field of African American culture and aesthetics, with scholars and filmmakers arguing the merits of narrative space without adequately addressing the issue of subversive agency of aesthetic expression by black film comedians. With special attention to the 1980-1989 work of comedian Eddie Murphy, this study will look at the film and television work found in this moment as an incisive cut in traditional Hollywood industry and narrative practices in order to show black comedic agency through aesthetic and cinematic narrative subversion. Through close examination of the film, Beverly Hills Cop (Brest, 1984), this project works to shed new light on the cinematic and standup trickster influences of comedy, and the little recognized existence of the 1980s as a decade that defines a base period for chronicling and inspecting the black aesthetic narrative subversion of American film comedy.

  • COMMUNITY INEQUALITY FALL 2014 Tuesdays, 9:30AM-12:10PM Davison Hall
    1 SOCIOLOGY 573 – COMMUNITY INEQUALITY FALL 2014 Tuesdays, 9:30AM-12:10PM Davison Hall Professor: Zaire Dinzey-Flores Sociology / Latino & Hispanic Caribbean Studies Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Thursdays, 10AM-12PM in Lucy Stone Hall A261 and by appointment Course Website: sakai.rutgers.edu COURSE DESCRIPTION “Community” is a central concept in sociology, rife with rich debates about its meaning and relevance for social life. This course will examine the concept of “community” as it informs, shapes, and edifies social inequality. The course will focus on different scales and conceptualization of community (spatially-defined, local, metropolitan, global, race, class, gender, immigrant) and how these conceptions intersect with varying dimensions and types of inequality (e.g., race, class, gender). The course will first investigate the concept of community as it is constituted in the discipline of sociology (and, as you will find out in anthropology, as well), and how the concept came to be located in the study of cities. We will examine the varied ways in which community is defined, measured, and studied. Then we will consider the study of community in its relationship to geographical spaces, social identities, and the social institutions and how the concept is deployed and circulated in its relationship to inequality. Community is a broad concept around which to frame a course and selection is inevitable to any production. The objectives of the course are to provide a foundational understanding of how community has been studied in sociology while offering a view of the breadth of the concept. Based on the lineage of the concept of community in sociology and anthropology, the first limitation is inbuilt; that is, the readings (as the study of community in sociology and anthropology) are clustered around urban topics.

  • The Revolution Will Not Be Televised…But It Will Be Streamed”: Spotify, Playlist Curation, and Social Justice Movements
    “THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED…BUT IT WILL BE STREAMED”: SPOTIFY, PLAYLIST CURATION, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENTS Melissa Camp A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Music in the School of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Mark Katz Aaron Harcus Jocelyn Neal © 2021 Melissa Camp ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Melissa Camp: “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised…But It Will Be Streamed”: Spotify, Playlist Curation, and Social Justice Movements (Under the direction of Mark Katz) Since its launch in 2008, the Swedish-based audio streaming service Spotify has transformed how consumers experience music. During the same time, Spotify collaborated with social justice activists as a means of philanthropy and brand management. Focusing on two playlists intended to promote the Black Lives Matter movement (2013–) and support protests against the U.S. “Muslim Ban” (2017–2020), this thesis explores how Spotify’s curators and artists navigate the tensions between activism and capitalism as they advocate for social justice. Drawing upon Ramón Grosfoguel’s concept of subversive complicity (2003), I show how artists and curators help promote Spotify’s progressive image and bottom line while utilizing the company’s massive platform to draw attention to the people and causes they care most about by amplifying their messages. iii To Preston Thank you for your support along the way. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank my thesis advisor, Mark Katz, for his dedication and support throughout the writing process, especially in reading, writing, and being the source of advice, encouragement, and knowledge for the past year.
