Description
In this episode Professor Stephen Goldsmith, Ernani Choma (postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard), and Matt Raifman (Ph.D. candidate at Boston University) discuss their new report, which revealed that the racial disparities in traffic deaths is actually worse than previously believed. They discuss why this is the case, what still needs to be studied, and how cities can collect better data to address the latent racism built into transportation systems and infrastructure.
