That reality is not reflected in the dominant white society. You try to make sense of it, try to name it and understand it, and if you don\u2019t, you can internalize and think you\u2019re just wrong. You\u2019re trying to understand and name your experience,\u201d she reflects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The power of naming racist experiences drew her to pursue impact litigation, legal scholarship, and legal education. But it\u2019s introducing this conceptualization around racism to students that for Gonzales Rose makes the job so meaningful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s this moment where students who\u2019ve been grappling with this issue\u2014either as individuals who have this experience or as allies who are very interested in serving communities who have this experience\u2014they see, theorize, label, and explain these experiences they\u2019ve had or witnessed in their lives,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gonzales Rose has designed her career around imagining what a justice grounded in dignity and care would really look like. Her next challenge: rooting those ideas in research and turning them into meaningful policy realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"headline-1\" class=\"wp-block-editorial-headline record-block-editorial-headline\"><strong>How to Build an Antiracist Policy Center&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gonzales Rose started working with the BU Center for Antiracist Research in September 2020 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/articles\/2020\/ibram-x-kendi-leading-scholar-on-racism-to-join-bu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Professor Ibram X. Kendi had launched the center in July<\/a>), and already in that time she has built a policy office with a multipronged approach to bringing research-based guidance to antiracist policy work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The policy office Gonzales Rose has built in this last year comprises a racial policy tracker, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/record\/articles\/2021\/challenge-to-rule-barring-civil-rights-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">amicus brief practice<\/a>, evidence equity project, model legislation unit, continuing legal education offerings, and policy convenings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these projects relies on different forms of racial data to be able to identify disparities and inequities connected to various forms of policy. The data-based project Gonzales Rose has worked with most closely, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/antiracism-center\/antiracism-research\/racial-data-lab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">COVID Racial Data Tracker<\/a>, was among the first efforts in the US to track the disproportionate testing and impact of COVID-19 on racialized communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe COVID Racial Data Tracker project has revealed problematic data collection practices by states, which can obfuscate the existence and experience of racism,\u201d she says. For example, data practices that measure Latinx as an ethnicity separate from other racial categories, and so classify Latinx communities as white, can misrepresent gaps in equity between white and Black populations, and conceal Latinx experiences of racism altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou have to have that [racial demographic] data,\u201d Gonzales Rose says. \u201cData is important to understand and to track, and then to formulate policies to mitigate those disparities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"headline-2\" class=\"wp-block-editorial-headline record-block-editorial-headline\"><strong>Evidence, Linguicism, and Critical Race Theory&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gonzales Rose\u2019s scholarship asks questions about how and where systemic racism plays out in legal procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverything to me comes back to evidence, because evidence is about having knowledge, having a voice, and being able to prove something,\u201d she explains. The courts have a long history of keeping Black, Indigenous, and other people of color from testifying or sitting on juries. Even when these communities make it into court to offer evidence, their testimonies are often devalued, discredited, or subject to extra scrutiny.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One specific problem Gonzales Rose has identified in evidentiary procedure is with linguicism\u2014discrimination based on particular uses or assumptions about language. Her recent work has found continuing issues with accent and other forms of linguistic discrimination in jury selection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gonzales Rose knows that these are ongoing problems, but Derrick Bell\u2019s original idea that racism is endemic and permanent doesn\u2019t scare her. It energizes her. She compares it to the work of putting out fires, saying, \u201cYou don\u2019t give up because you know there will continue to be fires. You don\u2019t just say, \u2018Well, close the fire department.\u2019 You simply say, \u2018You need more support. More firefighters.\u2019 Here we need more antiracist researchers, lawyers, and policymakers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-end-of-article\">\u201cI feel like that\u2019s what we have to do in the antiracist space,\u201d she says. \u201cJust keep working on it every day and encourage people to work on it every day.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside
