We must reimagine medicine and public health for the 21st century with the goal of equity. This series will bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines to discuss the social-political dimensions of COVID-19, with emphasis on how structural racism intersects with medicine and public health. The series will both examine how we got here and contemplate what a more just future might look like.
