Dr. Terence Keel, UCLA interdisciplinary scholar, joins the Know Your Rights Camp podcast to unpack how race, science, religion, and law intersect to structure power and justify inequality. Keel exposes race as a social construct, critiques how coroners obscure police violence by labeling in-custody deaths "natural," and calls for independent autopsy offices and systemic reform. Drawing from his books The Coroner's Silence and Divine Variations, he traces Christianity's role in shaping racial hierarchy while championing liberation theology. A powerful conversation on dismantling belief systems that naturalize injustice and building frameworks rooted in human dignity, shared power, and democratic accountability.
