Moya Bailey: Misogynoir in Medicine

Join the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy and partners for a talk with Moya Bailey, professor of communication studies at Northwestern University. Bailey’s talk will be focused on the prevalent themes in her new documentary, Misogynoir in Medicine. The documentary pushes back on the notion that Black women need to be doing more as individuals to support their health. Many studies lament the disparities in care but few offer concrete solutions or look to the work that is already being done to address some of these disparities. Bailey will discuss her look into the experiences of Black women providers, patients and advocates within the U.S. health care system in an effort to propose new practices and protocols to address deep disparities in care.
