Tina Martineau
Institutional Racism is the term for forms of racism structured into the nation’s political and social institutions. Segregation, red-lining, and other such forms of active racism have been outlawed, but the effects they had are still present today. We must be aware of this and actively work to address these ongoing issues as part of the fight against racism.
Tina has a BS in Sociology with minors in Anthropology and Psychology from Montana State University, where she studied socio-cultural issues, their historical roots, and how they affected different social groups. Her focus on Justice Studies included classes on law and inequality and race and ethnicity. She observed some of these issues and biases first-hand working as a Detention Officer for 6 years at the Gallatin County Detention Center.
