How might we address the embodiment of racial inequalities and struggles for justice? Medical anthropology has long focused on the connections between racism and health. Yet, a global infectious disease pandemic and the fight against white supremacy to affirm Black lives compel a renewed reckoning with racist violence in the domains of medicine and global health. Three scholars working at the intersections of racism, medicine, and health will join us for a discussion about thinking and writing at the fluid sociopolitical boundaries of the clinic.
