The Return Of Jane Crow: Laws Affecting Black People And Other People Of Color

In this episode of the AJPH podcast, Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia interview four experts—Kimberly M. Nelson, Wendy E. Parmet, Kristen Underhill, and Ruqaiijah Yearby—on the intersection of law, policy, and public health. They discuss the importance of studying policies within their legal contexts, the trend of state laws disproportionately targeting marginalized groups, and the broader implications for health and equity. The conversation explores the reasons behind these legal shifts and how research can inform the creation of stronger, more protective policies that promote public health and social justice.
