Sickle Cell Disease can only be understood in the context of racial politics.
Predominantly seen in populations of African heritage, the diagnosis and treatment of this disease from the 1920s onwards draws attention to the importance of culture in biogenetic understandings of disease. Medical practices associated with sickle cell disease also shed light on health care disparities and the cultural construction of pain.
A lecture by Joanna Bourke recorded on 1 June 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London

Once we understand that every disease is caused by racism, humanity will truly be on it's way to enlightenment. Thanks to Gresham College for doing such groundbreaking work.

Every disease is clearly not caused by “racism”. Viruses, bacteria, autoimmune disorders don’t typically discriminate.

This was so great. Thank you for your research. I hope many hear your studies, and hear the cries of the people. I hope more research is to come, along for better treatments and cures for this condition.

As an pediatric hematologist who has specialised in SCD for many, many years - thank you for taking this on as a topic that warrants attention. It is an ignored, under-reported, marginalised illness that needs people like you to take the time to discuss it broad context in the community. It needs much, much funding to move forward with research and patient care and management. It will be many years before it is considered in the same way as CF or hemophilia.

I live in Israel and worked for many years as a nurse. I had come across sickle cell problems . What I understand is that the recessive trait has meant that those who lived in malaria areas were less likely to get malaria. Therefore it was a survival trait
