Summary:

In this series we introduce the work of researchers from the Black Health and the Humanities Network. Each episode uncovers the different ways that racist environments impact the health of Black African and Caribbean people.  Expect conversation centred around resistance creativity and imaginative futures.  

The Black Health and the Humanities network emerged in part from the crisis caused by 2020’s global Covid-19 pandemic, the transnational Black Lives Matter movement, and the intersections between racism and health inequalities that, although not new, these events highlighted.
