In Conversation: Can 'biological race' explain disparities in health?

Update: 2023-07-31

Description

In this episode, we discuss why health disparities between different racial and ethnic groups, including those that surfaced during the COVID-19 pandemic, cannot be explained by biological race. We also explore how racism affects the health and well-being of future generations. Joining the conversation are Dr. Monique Rainford, obstetrician and gynecologist at Yale School of Medicine and author of the book "Pregnant While Black," and Angela Saini, science journalist and author whose most recent work includes the book "Superior: The Return of Race Science."
