You are invited to join us on Tuesday, February 8, from 2:00 p.m. -
5:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual symposium on the February 2022 issue of
Health Affairs, "Racism & Health."

Register Today

Racism is the reason for large, sustained health inequities in the
United States. The February 2022 issue of Health Affairs, "Racism &
Health," contains a comprehensive, scholarly look at the complex
relationship between racism and health and provides new evidence,
analysis, and narratives on the topic. It is our hope that the issue
will make a lasting contribution to the field and enhance the national
dialogue regarding the importance of policies to address structural
racism.

On February 8, panels of distinguished authors and experts will present
their work and engage in discussions on the historical context, evolving
research practices and policies, and the lived experience of populations
whose health has been harmed by individual and structural racism. A
highlight of the event will be the reading of "Identity," an original
poem by Sharon Attipoe-Dorcoo, which will be published in the issue.
