- Title
Commentary: Can Critical Race Theory Enhance the Field of Public Health? A Student's Perspective.
- Authors
Cross, Rebekah Israel
- Abstract
Critical race theory (CRT) is a body of work that seeks to understand and change the relationship between race, racism, and power. While relatively new to the health sciences, CRT is increasingly used as a conceptual framework to examine the role of racism in health inequalities. In this commentary, I outline ways in which CRT can also be used to enhance public health education, methodology, and practice.
