Speaker Information
Ezelle Sanford III
Assistant Professor, History
Carnegie Mellon University
Dr. Sanford teaches courses in the history of American medicine and public health, as well as African American history. Currently, Dr. Sanford is working on "Segregated Medicine: How Racial Politics Shaped American Healthcare," a book manuscript under contract with Columbia University Press.
"Segregated Medicine" utilizes the important case of St. Louis's Homer G. Phillips Hospital — the largest Black-serving U.S. general hospital in the mid-twentieth century — to trace how the logic and legacy of racial segregation established enduring structures of health inequity. Dr. Sanford's scholarship uses historical perspectives and analysis to inform his advocacy for an equitable future in American healthcare.
