Racial Justice in Healthcare

With the resurgence in anti-racist activism and the COVID-19 pandemic came a growing attention to racial disparities in health and healthcare. What are we to make of these disparities? What role do injustices - past and present - play in generating these disparities? More generally, what constitutes racial (in)justice in clinical care and research? This course will explore these questions, as well as the ethical and social implications of contemporary interventions offered to resolve racial disparities in healthcare.
