And it looks like, in the Bay Area at least, we’re seeing some payoff from our early efforts to socially distance; hospitals have not seen the number of patients initially expected, and public health experts are tentatively declaring our success in flattening the proverbial curve. In spite of these successes, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown America’s inequalities into even sharper relief. Those who are most exposed to risk are the poorest among us, the undocumented, the unhoused, the under-or un-ins...2020-04-1027 minTalk Policy To MeTalk Policy To MeTalking Demography (Wrap up!)To wrap-up our series on Demography Shifts, Colleen (MPP ‘21) sat down with Goldman School Visiting Assistant Professor Mia Bird, who started as an MPP student at GSPP before pursuing an MA in economic demography (and then returning again to GSPP as a PhD!). Professor Bird discusses the different approaches that demographers and policymakers might take toward demographic shifts, shares her perspective on how demography can help destabilize stuck-in-the-past policy models, and offers thoughts on how demography and policy might work together in the future.

Does diversity and inclusion in the teaching profession even matter? And, if so, how can public policy play a constructive role? To find answers to these questions, Khalid Kaldi (MPP ’21) sat down with two former teachers of color. MPP student, Whitney Parra, explains the importance of cultural understanding in the classroom and provides a window into the personal experiences of a teacher of color.

However, once they’re no longer able to drive their cars due to health and safety concerns, that mobility—or ease of getting from point A to point B—plummets. A senior who no longer drives may be supported by their family for essential trips to health care services and the grocery story, but even in this best-case scenario, their physical world shrinks substantially. The challenge is that when...2020-03-1939 minTalk Policy To MeTalk Policy To MeTalking Aging and LaborAs our population ages, we are faced with a number of policy challenges. One, in particular, stands out: how will we provide care for those who need help? Our next episode in the series around Demographic Shifts explores the policy implications of the aging population and the people who will help care for them. California expects to see its population of seniors rise from 15 to 25% in the next 40 years. While the challenge of caring for an aging population will expand as the population grows, there are real policy issues today. The Direct Care industry, which...2020-03-1230 minTalk Policy To MeTalk Policy To MeTalking Fertility: Debunking Population Growth MythsWhen news articles talk about the county’s declining fertility, there tends to be a tone of panic and often of judgment. But what is the truth of fertility rate declines? What role does policy play in impacting these rates? And how does the nature of fertility rates influence policy? In this episode, Sarah Edwards (MPP 20) turns to a local expert, demography PhD Leslie Root. Leslie helps us unpack this specific intersection between demography and policy, and what it means for our future. Curious for more information on changing fertility rates and policy implications?

But, like all other policy areas, transportation policy has the potential to improve racial equity or widen racial disparities. But writer and historian Dr. Ibram X. Kendi asserts that all ideas, actions, and policies are either racist or anti-racist, removing the gray area of so-called ‘race neutrality’ in his recently published book, How To Be An Anti-Racist.

Spencer Bowen (MPP ’20) sat down with his fellow MPP candidate Eric Harris Bernstein to talk about public goods – and specifically public restrooms.  In this episode, you’ll hear a broad overview of public goods, takes on ongoing bathroom-centered equity battles, scholarly perspectives on restrooms’ place in our culture, and...2019-05-0321 minTalk Policy To MeTalk Policy To MeTalking Weed PolicyJaunary 2019 marked the one-year anniversary of the legalization of recreational cannabis use in California, and the launch of the Cannabis Research Center at UC Berkeley.

Board of Education was hailed as a landmark decision for civil rights. But decades later, many consider school integration a failure. UC Berkeley professor Rucker C. Johnson's new book Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works shows the exact opposite is true. The book looks at decades of studies to show that students of all races who attended integrated schools fared better than those who did not. In this interview with Goldman School of Public Policy Dean Henry E. Brady, which took place on Jan. 9, 2019, Johnson explains how he and his team analyzed the impact of...2019-04-1828 minTalk Policy To MeTalk Policy To MeTalking Carbon Footprinting, Part 2In Part 2 of our 2-episode carbon footprint series, TPTM hosts Reem, Spencer, and Sarah reflect on the results of their two-week-long challenge to drastically reduce their personal carbon emissions through changes to their diets, commutes, consumption habits, and electricity use. But do individual emissions reductions matter when corporations and industries continue to pollute with impunity? We can’t achieve ambitious climate goals – like California’s pledge to reduce emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 – through individual actions. So what else will it take?   Reem turns to Bob Epstein of Environmental Entrepreneurs, and then Professor Dan Kammen of the Goldman S...2019-04-1235 minTalk Policy To MeTalk Policy To MeSpecial Edition Episode: Talking about Talking PolicyFor this special edition episode, hosts Reem, Spencer, and Sarah talk about what it means to "talk policy."

Can and should income from working really provide a stable base for all Americans? And can more universal coverage social safety nets for non-working adults alleviate the stigma of government support? While welfare reform of the 1990s resulted in spotty coverage from the coupling of assistance and working, the universality of UBI could be an attractive counterproposal to extend coverage to those without it and reduce the stigma of go...2018-12-0151 minTalk Policy To MeTalk Policy To MeEpisode 206: Talking Dockless ScootersStreets littered with bicycles and scooters represent the latest skirmish between Bay Area city administrators and the technology sector.
