Amplifying Racial Justice Work in Rhetorics of Health and Medicine
Amplifying Racial Justice Work in Rhetorics of Health and Medicine
The Language, Writing, and Rhetoric series presents Dr. Kimberly Harper (North Carolina A&T State University), Professor Veronica Joyner (Howard University) and Dr. Maria Novotny (University of Wisconsin, Madison) will present a panel-style talk on “Amplifying Racial Justice Work in Rhetorics of Health and Medicine”. In response to the growing awareness that racism and its interwoven structures have a direct correlation with health equity, these scholars’ research agendas grapple with issues that produce disparities for BIPOC and other marginalized communities.
Currently, they are working as co-editors on a special issue of the Rhetorics of Health and Medicine Journal, titled “In Living Color: Amplifying Racial Justice Work in RHM”, which situates the rhetoric of health and medicine within a racial justice framework.
