www.kirwaninstitute.osu.edu
As a university-wide, interdisciplinary research
institute, the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race
and Ethnicity works to deepen understanding of the
causes of—and solutions to—racial and ethnic
disparities worldwide and to bring about a society
that is fair and just for all people. The work of
Charles Noble and Kwame Christian includes the
problem of health disparities and the social and
political structures that create and maintain them.
They prepare and edit expert testimony in civil
rights litigation and travel the country to give
presentations to health professionals on the topic of
health disparities.
So how do we talk about race? How should we
think about race? What research supports your
conclusions? How to separate the people from the
problem, focus on interests, not positions, use
objective criteria instead of subjective, ask, listen
and demonstrate understanding.
Objective: Describe the complexity of social
and political structures that contribute to
racial disparities in health outcomes. Discuss
ways to address health outcome disparities
through changes in social and political
structures.
