Part One: Health care. We speak to Professor Shervin Assari about his research on health disparities due to race, gender, and class. His recent piece at The Conversation is called, “Employment Helps White Men’s Health More Than Women and Blacks.”

What Can We Do About It?” Suggestions include: greater transparency requirements for digital news publishers, holding social media companies legally liable for the content on their platforms – and more.
