Download Transcript

In collaboration with the University Libraries' Research Hub, we are virtually and asynchronously hosting the Thomas M. Carsey Graduate Student Symposium throughout Love Data Week 2022 (February 14-18). Tom Carsey, former director of the Odum Institute and esteemed political scientist, was an advocate of graduate student research and support throughout his professional career.

This year, three finalists have submitted presentations of their social research projects. Our expert judges were given the chance to review the presentations and submit questions about them, which our finalists responded to as featured guests on Data Night.

In this episode, finalist Emily Forrest Hutchens, PhD student of Health Behavior in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, will respond to questions submitted about her project, "Tension, Trust, & Treatment: Experiences of Black EMS Clinicians in the Summer of 2020."

Also be sure to check out her video presentation!

  • "I talk in the podcast about programming to increase diversity in EMS. This program, Freedom House 2.0, is an exceptional example of a program that is deeply racially-informed and prioritizes the lives and successes of individuals looking to work in EMS. It was inspired by an all-Black ambulance service from the 1960s which was the blueprint for the modern emergency medical services system."
