 S314: Bonus: #CovidCampus Week 13 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:48:52

Three months into the COVID-19 era, life in the United States actually manages to get worse. Whitney leads this raw and intimate conversation with Sarah about how George Floyd’s murder and the subsequent protests and police response have profoundly shaken her. She discusses the current attention on police brutality against Black people (#BlackLivesMatter) in the context of COVID-19 health disparities. And she draws connections among recent events, the longer history of systemic racism in the U.S., and her intimate life as a mother, wife, and member of a large extended Black family.* Whitney also reflects on how this moment is changing her perspectives on how to move forward as a Black scholar studying racial equity in an overwhelmingly White environment. For all of you who are feeling grief and outrage, and for all of you who want to be a better source of support for those who are grieving and outraged -- this episode is dedicated to you. *A note: Whitney’s relative who was home with COVID-19 is doing well and seems fully recovered. The relative’s husband was discharged from the hospital and is also doing well. Another older relative of theirs remains hospitalized.
