In this episode I speak to Dr Yin Paradies, who is a senior research fellow at the University of Melbourne. Yin’s research focuses on the health, social and economic effects of racism as well as anti-racism theory, policy and practice.
In this interview, some of the topics we talk about include:
- What are some of the effects of racism?
- How does racism affect health outcomes?
- What are the variations that have been found in racism in Australia and overseas?
- Some examples of racism
- The relationship between racism and self-destructive behaviour
