Understanding the Biological Mechanisms Underlying the Health Consequences of Racism, Marginalization, and Discrimination
The marginalization of groups based on socially constructed categories of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and other identities produces biological consequences that contribute to health disparities in a variety of diseases and conditions, including many under the purview of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). For example, substantial racial and ethnic disparities exist in obesity, diabetes, and end-stage kidney disease. Racism, marginalization, and discrimination (RMD) is embedded into the structure of American society, which increases exposure to adverse social determ...

Burning Contagion: Organized Arson in Response to Quarantine Facilities and Pest Houses, 1858-1901
Throughout the 19th century, communities in the United States committed arson against healthcare facilities that housed the diseased. Local and national newspapers often described the resulting damage as the actions of a “ lawless mob. ” A closer reading of these incidents reveals local communities put at risk by facilities that actively caused them harm while benefitting other parties. This talk suggests that these events were organized acts of self-defense borne of medical knowledge, rather than rash mobs acting through fear or ignorance, and will highlight two such incidents, one in Staten Island, New York and anoth...
