Join UIC’s IRRPP, the Health Humanities Program at the College of Medicine, and other co-sponsors for this year’s Embodied Inequalities Begando Lecture by David Chae, ScD, MA (Director of the Society, Health and Racial Equity (SHARE) Lab & Associate Dean for Research at Tulane University). Dr Chae will discuss a social-ecological, psychobiological, and developmental approach to studying racism and implementing anti-racist interventions. Racial inequities in health are caused by racism ­— a social and moral dilemma, as well as a serious public health concern. In addition to causing direct physical damage, racism is also embodied covertly, including via biological processes underlying multiple disease pathways such as accelerated aging at the cell level.
