We kick off Season 5 with the phenomenal Dr. Keisha Ray, who received her PhD in philosophy, with a focus on bioethics, from the University of Utah. She is currently a tenured Associate Professor with the McGovern Center for Humanities & Ethics at UT Health Houston, where she also serves as the Director of the Medical Humanities Scholarly Concentration. Kirk and Amelia chat with her about new book Black Health. Listen to our discussion with Dr. Ray on the importance of writing for pre-health students, undergraduates and high school students to teach folks early on about institutional racism. We take a deep dive into some topics such as the role of sleep in overall health and health disparities and the concept of weathering.
