This mini-course will focus on health sciences research institutions in the United States from a sociological aspect. This series aims to, 1. Cross-examine the history and present-day structural racism within these institutions, 2. Uncover the root causes of health inequalities experienced by Black and Latinx populations, and 3. Understand how these populations experience and cope with a chronic illness. Students will engage with a series of articles, group discussions, and presentations.
