A conversation with Miss Leah Samuel, health and equity editor for The Conversation

We discuss health and equity in a post-pandemic world. While health and equity may be the future of medicine, its roots are firmly grounded in past disparities of healthcare. We show how past racially discriminatory practices in medicine manifest as subtle biases today. Miss Leah Samuel is a health and equity editor for The Conversation. Previously she was a staff reporter for STAT. A journalist for over 25 years, her work has appeared in newspapers and magazines across the country, including Harvard Magazine, Labor Notes, the Chicago Reporter, and PublicSource.org.
