This three-week mini-course examines racism in various medical milieus, with a specific focus on women of color. By considering texts, films, and historical documents, we will highlight the intersectionality of race, gender, and health. Together, we will delve into the historical and ongoing technologies of medical racism, and how people creatively maneuver around them to access the care they require.
