Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. - Not as we are, but as we could be: race, racism, and epidemiology - In 2022, Martinez et al. demonstrated the lack of rigor around race and ethnicity in epidemiology publications (https://doi.org/10.1093/aje/kwac146). Drs. Ford & Pirtle were invited to comment on the work and examined how the deficits of the discipline could be addressed through the Public Health Critical Race Praxis (https://doi.org/10.1093/aje/kwae064). Recently, Martinez et al responded, moving the conversation up the structural ladder to how journals themselves reinforce biological racism within the discipline and the possible actions for change (https://doi.org/10.1093/aje/kwae259).
