With a black man running for president and a woman running for vice president, a panel discussion yesterday, titled "Framing Social Justice for the Election Year: Race, Gender, Ethnicity, and Politics," attempted to analyze the effects of gender and race identities in politics.
Panelists Mark Lopez, associate director of the Pew Hispanic Center; Melvin Foote, founder and president of the Constituency for Africa, an organization dedicated to American policy in Africa and Wendy Smooth, a women's studies assistant professor at Ohio State University, discussed the extent to which an individual's gender or race affects his or her political views. About 40 students and faculty attended the discussion, which was moderated by government and politics professor Ronald Walters, and most said they found it enlightening.
