Today’s episode of  A Hard Look  is the fourth and last in a series of four episodes that will examine the role that racism has historically played in Administrative Law, the ways that racism still actively pervades the Administrative Law Space, and the ways that practitioners, leaders, scholars, and our listeners can effectuate change. Each episode will be hosted by a different student on the Administrative Law Review and feature guests from across the country.

To close our series, host Kübra Babaturk and guest Professor Renée M. Landers talk about the disparate impact that administrative policies have on healthcare, from hospital implementation to insurance and how she and others have used the public participation system of filing comments to force agencies to acknowledge their role in racial justice.  Professor Landers authored “Race (and Other Vulnerabilities) in Healthcare and Administrative Law” for the Yale Journal of Regulation. 

The series was inspired by the Yale Journal of Regulation’s Symposium on Racism in Administrative Law. A special “Thank You” to all of the hosts and guests that participated and to Professor Kathryn Kovacs for spearheading the Symposium and for getting this conversation started.
