Dr. Tshokey, MD, PhDRacism as a Public Health Threat Lecture Series
The University of Utah Division of Public Health is proud to announce “Racism as a Public Health Threat,” an annual lecture series. Created in response to the killing of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this series reflects the moral and political struggle around issues of systemic racism and inequity. This lecture series seeks to demonstrate what we fiercely believe to be true: that the physical and mental health of the whole of society is negatively impacted when racist attitudes and practices are allowed to continue uncontested. The series selects speakers whose community and intellectual efforts help connect this understanding.
