As we continue to grapple with COVID-19, now is the time to move beyond research that shines a light on health disparities and provide evidence of what works to address structural…October 2021Racism
- The 2020-21 school year demanded something brand new—shaped by the needs of students, families and educators facing unprecedented challenges. In this crisis, existing inequities grew worse.

And those solutions proved widely beneficial…October 2021Education, Ableism

- The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected specific demographics, with Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities being among the hardest hit.

In this article,…April 2021Vaccine Access and Uptake, Racism
- The majority of hospitals and health systems are collecting race, ethnicity, language and other data on demographic and socio-economic factors about their patients. But how can health care organizations use that data to tell a story that guides the delivery of quality care and improves outcomes for all patients?
