Paula Davis, Associate Vice Chancellor Office of Health Sciences Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to participate on panel for Book Launch discussion.

The University of Pittsburgh Law and the Center for Civil Rights and Racial Justice will celebrate Professor Mary Crossley and the launch of her new book, Embodied Injustice: Race, Disability, and Health (Cambridge University Press 2022) on March 30, 2023 at 4:00 pm. This event will take place in the Alcoa Room at the Barco Law Library, 3900 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15260.

​The book, Embodied Injustice, uses an interdisciplinary approach, weaving health research with social science, critical approaches, and personal stories to portray the devastating effects of health injustice in America. In her book, Crossley also suggests reforms to advance health equity for disabled people, Black people, and disabled Black people.

Additional commentary will be provided by Associate Vice Chancellor Paula Davis (Office of Health Sciences, Diversity and Inclusion) and Professor Thistle Elias (Pitt Public Health).
