In June, Santa Clara County formally declared racism a public health crisis, and counties across the country are considering similar declarations. So, how did we get here: how have racist practices and bias been embedded in medical practices, and how do racism and bias within legal institutions contribute to widespread and long-term health discrepancies that disproportionately affect people of color? Find out from Dr. Duana Fullwiley, an anthropologist of science and medicine, and Dr. Erin Kerrison, whose work takes a legal-epidemiological approach to public health.

Tonight's program features:

Dr. Duana Fullwiley is an anthropologist of science and medicine studying how social identity, health outcomes, and molecular genetics increasingly intersect. She has become particularly interested in how scientists promote civic ideas of “genetic citizenship,” how they enlist participant involvement in specific disease research problems, and how they contribute to social movements of historical reckoning.

Dr. Erin Kerrison’s work considers how law and legal institutions operate as social determinants of health. Her mixed-method research investigates the compounded impact that structural disadvantage, concentrated poverty, and state supervision has on substance abuse, access to health care, and other health outcomes for individuals and communities marked by criminal justice intervention.
