Anti-Racism and Health: Levels of Health Intervention by Professor Camara Jones

Professor Camara Jones makes the case that “racial” health disparities cannot be eliminated until racism is named and addressed.
In this talk, the first in a series of three public lectures on Anti-Racism and Health to be offered by Professor Camara Jones during the year, making the case that “racial” health disparities cannot be eliminated until racism is named and addressed.
She opens with her “Cliff Analogy” to illustrate three dimensions of health intervention: health services, addressing the social determinants of health (including poverty and adverse neighbourhood conditions), and addresses the social determinants of equity (including racism and other systems of structured inequity). She then follows her “Dual Reality” allegory that elegantly illustrates that racism exists, even when so many can’t see it. Finally, she engages with audience members in a spirited conversation exploring the pertinence of these ideas in the United States and United Kingdom contexts.
