Michele Bratcher Goodwin of UCI Law has launched a new podcast with Ms. Magazine titled, On the Issues with Michele Goodwin. Described as a show where “we, report, rebel and tell it like it is,” each episode will feature Professor Goodwin in conversation with a guest tackling current issues and topics focused on “rebuilding our nation and advancing the promise of equality.”
The first episode, “Policing in America: A Tale of Race, Sex and Violence,” aired on June 30 and features UCI Law Dean L. Song Richardson.
Professor Goodwin spoke to UCI Law about her plans for the podcast and the focus of the first episode,
“On this episode we focus on women and policing, elevating the stories and experiences of women, which are often absent from the conversation,” said Professor Goodwin. “Even in recent weeks as the nation has erupted in protests related to the tragic murder of George Floyd, some might argue that the killing of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, an emergency medical technician in Louisville, Kentucky was an afterthought, even though her death too was no less inhumane, violent, and preventable.”
