A structural understanding of racial inequalities has begun to take root across the U.S. Public health stakeholders, citizens activists, and lawmakers, at even the highest level of government, have indeed begun to consider that interventions to combat racial health inequity must be designed with systemic racism in mind. In this episode of Sick Individuals/Sick Populations, we speak with several scholars from the University of Michigan’s Racism Lab–a transdisciplinary collective at the forefront of scholarship on structural racism–about the crucial contributions of a structural racism framework for the current historical moment. Join us as we chat with Kayla Fike; Ramona Perry; and Dr. Myles Durkee about their research on racial inequality; their advice for building out a productive interdisciplinary group; and the upcoming RacismLab symposium, Toxic Equilibrium, which will focus on structural racism and population welfare.
