Pandemic and Beyond Podcast 13 - Nursing Narratives: Racism and the Pandemic
1Description
The effects of structural inequalities have been a central feature of the pandemic since it began. In this podcast Des Fitzgerald talks to Professor Anandi Ramamurthy of Sheffield Hallam University who is leading a project that has been profiling the impacts of racism for people working in the NHS in particular. They are joined by Esther Akinpelu, a paediatric nurse, and by Ken Fero, internationally renowned film-maker who has been collaborating with the project. Their words are a powerful demonstration of how stories of BME nursing staff and the pandemic are entwined with complex histories of racism, only fully understood through amplifying the experiences and voices of those who have been marginalised.
More information about the Nursing Narratives project can be found here.
Ken Fero is a founding member of Migrant Media, a collective of radical film makers.
