Antiracism : A Guide to Stories, Perspectives, and Connections

"The history of medicine is filled with amazing scientific discoveries and remarkable innovation, but the profession is also haunted by a history of structural oppression and exclusionary practices that act as barriers for people of color. This history influences the policies, practices, and procedures that govern how physicians are trained in the United States today. In this episode of “Beyond the White Coat,” AAMC (American Association of Medical Colleges) President and CEO David J. Skorton, MD, speaks with AAMC Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer David A. Acosta, MD, about the history of structural racism in U.S. medical education and how that history informs today’s learning environment."

"A show about the unfinished business of our history and its grip on our future. Underlying almost every cultural divide and fervent debate as we approach the 2020 election is one basic question: Who is the USA for? Who’s allowed to live here? Who has control over whose body? Who gets to vote? Who gets access to a good public education? Who sets the definition of justice?

"In linguistics, "code-switching" means mixing languages or patterns of speech in conversation. But as our writer Gene Demby explains: 'We're looking at code-switching a little more broadly. Many of us subtly, reflexively change the way we express ourselves all the time. We're hop-scotching between different cultural and linguistic spaces and different parts of our own identities — sometimes within a single interaction.' We decided to call this team Code Switch because much of what we'll be exploring are the different spaces we each inhabit and the tensions of trying to navigate between them. In one sense, code-switching is about dialogue that spans cultures. It evokes the conversation we want to have here." Episode titles include "Violence That Doesn't Go Viral," "The Racial Reckoning That Wasn't," "Tulsa, 100 Years Later," and "What Does It Mean To Be Latino? The 'Light-Skinned Privilege' Edition."
