David Stovall, PhD, a professor in the departments of Black Studies and Criminology, Law, and Justice at the University of Illinois Chicago, will give the next E. Lorraine Baugh Visiting Faculty Lecture on Thursday, February 17, Noon–1:15 p.m. Dr. Stovall's discussion will engage the relationship between racism and health, as communities of color in large cities are bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic and health professionals throughout the country are coming to grips with the fact that structural racism deeply impacts health outcomes. Using critical public health and critical epidemiology, Stovall will show how, while many understand the current health crisis to be new, others have known it has been with us since time immemorial.
