Racism has been declared a public Health emergency, but this has been given little analytic content. "Structural racism and public health: A way forward?" takes up this challenge. Professor Peter Hammer explores the relationship between spatial-structural racism and the social and economic determinants of health. Water shutoffs in Detroit are taken as a case study. Monica Lewis Patrick, Dr. Nadia Gaber and Dr. Emily Kutil lift up the work of the We The People of Detroit Community Research Collaborative. They will discuss the geography of water shutoffs in Detroit, including new research about how shutoffs have shaped the COVID-19 pandemic. Martina Guzman, the Damon J. Keith Civil Rights Center Racial Equity Media Fellow provides a global perspective juxtaposing water shutoffs in Detroit and South Africa.
