Racism and Inequalities in Health: Notes towards an Agenda for Critical Health Psychology

Christine Stephens

Massey University, New Zealand, c.v.stephens{at}massey.ac.nz

Estacio (this issue) has provided a moving demonstration of the way in which racism impacts on health at interpersonal, societal and global levels and how the discourses that create and sustain unequal treatment may be identified in everyday mediated talk, including the use of humour. In this commentary I develop Estacio's discussion of the importance of racism in regard to health inequalities. Using her structure, I briefly suggest additional ways in which critical health psychologists may approach these issues by drawing on work from psychology and other disciplines to develop just approaches to health research and practice.

Key Words: ethics • health psychology • inequalities • justice • racism
