DESCRIPTION:Jonathan M. Metzl MD\, PhD\, is the Frederick B. Rentschler II 
 Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry\, and the director of the Department 
 of Medicine\, Health\, and Society\, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville\
 , Tennessee.\n\nJonathan Metzl is the author of the groundbreaking book\, D
 ying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America
 ’s Heartland. A New York Times bestseller\, the book is an in-depth look at
  why so many working-class white Americans support politicians whose polici
 es are literally killing them. The book was also the winner of the 2020 Rob
 ert F. Kennedy Book Award.\n\nBeing a gun violence expert\, professor\, and
  psychiatrist is a unique combination that allows Dr. Metzl to speak and wr
 ite about gun violence in America\, and in particular to address stereotype
 s that link guns with race or mental illness\, or that blame mental illness
  for mass shootings and other gun crimes. This topic is the focus of Dr. Me
 tzl’s most recent\, What We’ve Become: Living and Dying in a Country of Arm
 s\, a book that\, by looking at a racially-charged mass shooting in Nashvil
 le\, Tennessee\, reexamines how we as a nation should address gun violence.
