On September 20th, The Hoya, Georgetown’s oldest and largest student newspaper, published an article highlighting a recent seminar hosted by the M.S. Health and the Public Interest program, titled “Operationalizing Reproductive Justice in Health Services Research and Policy To Address Perinatal Health Disparities.”

The article, Health and Public Interest Seminar Highlights Structural Racism in Reproductive Health, captured excellent quotes from speaker Christina Marea. As Dr. Marea puts it, “Reproductive justice involves the social and economic environments in which we live…it involves the ability to have care be delivered in a way that is respectful, engaging and welcoming — and not begrudging, biased and discriminatory.”
