Panel: Advancing Health Through A Racial Lens

I participated in an amazing panel with notable female scholars on the topic of race and health. The panel was held at the University of Maryland on Thursday, February 20, 2014 and featured Professor Dorothy Roberts, George A. Weiss University Professor of Law and Sociology and the Raymond Pace and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander Professor of Civil Rights at the University of Pennsylvania. My talk was titled “Treating Difference: Race, Risk, and the Politics of HIV/AIDS Prevention.” I spoke about investigating issues of race and risk in HIV/AIDS prevention using theoretical and methodological approaches from medical anthropology and science and technology studies.
