Incommunicable: Toward Communicative Justice in Health and Medicine

At University of California, Berkeley

Southside

Medical discourse often assumes everyone speaks the same language, but Charles Briggs argues this presumption creates dangerous "incommunicability" in healthcare. Join the author and a panel of critics for a sharp discussion on how race and power shape who gets heard in medicine, using COVID-19 as a case study in eroded trust.
