Episode 22: Why Bad Things Happen: Covid and Health Inequality

Apple Podcasts | Android | Spotify | Google Podcasts | Email | RSS

This episode is about how we explain why bad things happen. We hear the story of Michael Jindra, a cultural anthropologist who challenges the common narrative around health disparities in the United States. Our topics include free will, systemic racism, and personal responsibility. Michael’s blog: "Covid, Health Inequality and the Avoidance of Behavioral Explanations." To engage deeper with these ideas, check out our related posts:

  2. "Education is Related to Greater Ideological Prejudice" by Sean Stevens
  3. "Science Fictions: How Fraud, Bias, Negligence, and Hype Undermine the Search for Truth" by Musa al-Gharbi
For comments and questions email communications@heterodoxacademy.org. This episode was hosted by Zach Rausch. The artwork was inspired by Jindra’s piece and was created by Lexi Polokoff. You can follow her on Instagram @lexipolokoffart
