               Health Justice: Critical Perspectives In Health Law & Policy

This virtual conference will bring together health law and policy researchers, advocates, health workers, and justice movement activists to foster theory, practice, and action on health justice. Our focus is on applying critical perspectives—including critical race theory, Lat Crit, ClassCrit, black feminist theory, feminist legal theory, queer theory, critical disability studies, and more—to the most pressing challenges in health law and policy.
