How Racism Plays a Role in Health Inequities with Harriet Washington Aug 01, 2020

Show notes

As a medical ethicist, Harriet Washington has a unique and courageous voice and deconstructs the politics around medical issues. In addition to giving an abundance of historically accurate information on 'scientific racism', she paints a powerful and disturbing portrait of medicine, race, sex, and the abuse of power by telling individual human stories. Washington also makes the case for broader political consciousness of science and technology, challenging audiences to see the world differently and challenge established paradigms in the history of medicine.

On July 23, 2020, Association Chat host KiKi L'Italien interviewed Washington about racism and discrimination in health care, its impact during Covid-19, and how we can begin to address systemic racism within our healthcare system.

Hope for the Best and Plan for the Worst with Max Brooks Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

I had so much fun in this interview with the brilliant Max Brooks.

Now Max is kind of amazing. You may be familiar with his books, like The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z, the graphic novel The Harlem Hellfighters, and his latest Devolution...but did you know that Max is also a lecturer at the Modern War Institute at West Point and the Atlantic Council's Brent Snowcroft Center for Strategy and Security?

He regularly explores new ways to attack large-scale concerns, which is a valuable exercise when we are all in the midst of a global health crisis. Find out what he says is the answer for "willful ignorance" and why I'm creating my own "Order of the Palm" when I talk with him for this episode of Association Chat.

Becoming a collaborator with your competitor can be a challenge, but it might be the best thing you do. For this episode of the Chat, I talk with Tahira Endean and Mahoganey Jones about the ways competitors can work together and why we should all consider it.
