Hi everyone. This is Sid Krishna-Murthy. Welcome back to another episode of the anti-racism and medicine series of the Clinical Problem Solvers podcast. As always, our goal on this podcast is to equip our listeners at all

levels of training with the consciousness and tools to practice anti-racism in their health

professions careers. Today's episode is focused on the topic of narrative medicine and how we might

leverage narrative storytelling to cultivate anti-racist

praxis. And to talk about this with us, we have two incredible guests. Ashley, would you like to go

ahead and introduce our first guest? Thanks, Sid. Zara Khan is an educator and editor,

whose work emerges at the intersection of narrative, healing, and disability justice

in liberation pedagogy. Her research, writing, and community engagement focuses on shifting

consciousness and medical education toward abolitionist possibilities. Zara enjoys facilitating spaces

that cultivate critical consciousness, earnest reflection, and collective care.

Her work has appeared in publications such as The Lancet, Journal of Medical Ethics, and AMA Journal of Ethics.

She currently works with Project NIA, a nonprofit dedicated to ending youth incarceration, and teaches

in the graduate program in narrative medicine at Columbia University and at CUNY School of

Medicine.

Thank you for being here today with us,

Sarah. Thanks for having me.
