From Apolitical February 15, 2021 Milda Aksamitauskas Harris Public Policy MPP'04 Alum Milda Aksamitauskas was featured in Apolitical discussing the ethics and effects of assigning race on public other forms. Aksamitauskas discusses race as a social construct and the challenges and implications of defining people by race. "When we ask people to tell us their race, it opens the door to a deluge of hard ethical questions: how will governments use that data? And what if your identity doesn't appear on the form? It is one thing when your friend or a colleague asks where you are from. It is a bit different when you mark that choice on a government form and don’t know how and where the data will be used."
