Episode 5. Unravelling Health Disparities: The Racial Divide

Presented by Doctor, writer and TV Presenter Xand van Tulleken and community health psychologist and self-proclaimed hippie, UCL's Professor Rochelle Burgess. This podcast is about public health,&nbsp;but more importantly, it’s about the systems that need disrupting to make public health&nbsp;better. In each episode, we’ll be challenging the status quo of this field,&nbsp;asking what needs to change,&nbsp;why and how to get there.&nbsp;Each month&nbsp;we’ll be joined by activists, scholars, artists, comedians and industry professionals to offer perspectives from the UCL community and beyond.&nbsp; We’re calling this podcast Public Health Disrupted because that’s exactly what we want to do. We&nbsp;are going to be breaking down disciplinary, sectoral and geographic boundaries to really understand the diverse and complex issues impacting our health. We discuss issues as complex as structural racism and as broad as the role of tech in public health.&nbsp; New episodes will be made available via the <a href="https://soundcloud.com/uclsound/public-heath-disrupted-trailer#t=0:00" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UCL Soundcloud</a>, <a href="https://shows.acast.com/public-health-disrupted-series-trailer/episodes/public-health-disrupted-series-trailer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Acast</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/42KVLexpV2C8VmJBHO0u7D" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a> and <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/public-health-disrupted-new-podcast-from-ucl-health/id1539658870" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcast</a>.
