lecture 2: James E. Murray, Jr.

James Murray is from Little Rock, Arkansas and is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Educational Policy Studies and Evaluation in the College of Education at the University of Kentucky. His current research revolves around the ethical need for colleges and universities to disaggregate racial data for those categorized as Black. This disaggregation may allow for universities to better understand and cater to the needs of specific ethnic groups in the larger racial category, specifically his interest is in Black Americans who are the descendants of American slavery as this group has a unique justice claim having undergone legal chattel slavery. In his spare time James enjoys reading about Quantum mechanics, Ralph Ellison and can listen to Nas on repeat all day every day. He is a Type 1 Diabetic and a proud recent kidney transplant recipient.
