The Race + Racism in Contemporary Biomedicine Working Group includes multidisciplinary faculty who study race as an organizing structure of health and medicine from social science, humanistic, biological, and scientific perspectives. We interrogate the role of race in contemporary biomedicine, address pressing questions about health disparities and stratified inequality, and are committed advocates of antiracist praxis in the South.
The Working Group received its seed funding through a grant from GT-FIRE with three Principal Investigators: Anne Pollock, Manu Platt, Lewis Wheaton. It receives ongoing support from the Ivan Allen College and the College of Sciences. |
