The panelists were Keisha Bentley-Edwards, assistant professor in medicine and associate director of research at the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity, and Jay Pearson, assistant professor in the Sanford School of Public Policy. “It complicates things especially as we start talking about schools opening up, where parents have to weigh, ‘do I send my kids to school where they can get access to more resources, school lunch, school psychologists, the school nurse...?’ Both Bentley-Edwards and Pearson emphasized that institutions characterized by negative social bias cause stress in people of color, which increases the speed of cellular aging and worsens health outcomes.
