Indicators of structural sexism and racism are associated with greater memory decline in older women in the United States.
A new study from Columbia University researchers: ‘Sexism Is a Risk Factor for Memory Decline Among Women’
From the Columbia University posting:
“The difference between being born in the most versus the least sexist state was equivalent to nine years of cognitive aging.
The study is part of a growing body of research that has investigated links between structural sexism and health. Structural sexism, like structural racism, does not refer to personal incidences but to inequality in resources and power that stem from social policies and societal norms. Hate crimes or slurs are individual acts of racism or sexism, whereas unfair lending practices and underrepresentation in government are structural.”

Columbia University Irving Medical Center · Sexism Is a Risk Factor for Memory Decline Among WomenColumbia researchers have found that women born in the most sexist U.S. states experience faster memory decline in later life compared to women born in the least sexist states.
Structural racism has profound impacts on health outcomes, says a new report. Increasing diversity in healthcare & adopting affordable payment models are key to reducing disparities.

Teachers recruited from Jamaica to work in London for the Harris Federation chain of 52 state-funded academy schools have spoken of their “devastation” on finding out that they are being paid thousands of pounds a year less than English-trained recruits with similar levels of experience.
Of course, many people aren't aware that academies are essentially privatised state schools and can pay what they like.

Vs the giant library in an affluent, white downtown of a city of 39k that looks more like a major government building from the outside (in terms of how pretty and nice the architecture is, with landscaping and beautiful pavements and pathways, etc) than a library.
We could have much better libraries if all the city budget wasn't going towards cops to brutalize, murder and enslave Black people in prisons
Nothing really shows off the massive structural discrepancy of racism like going to libraries in the hood of a city of 1.6 million with scarce books, one bathroom and librarian and hardly any fun architecture or children's space (or even comfortable adult space) and some of them look more like rundown apartments than public goods.

Black, Hispanic, and multiracial disabled men are especially overrepresented in prisons.
Disabled incarcerated people were more likely to have previously resided in other institutions, such as juvenile detention facilities and psychiatric hospitals compared with their nondisabled incarcerated peers.
PubMedThe Links Between Disability, Incarceration, And Social Exclusion - PubMedDisabled people are disproportionately incarcerated and segregated from society through a variety of institutions. Still, the links between disability and incarceration are underexplored, limiting understanding of how carceral institutions punish and contribute to the social exclusion of disabled pe …

Why is the US still in such poor health, despite its wealth?
A decade ago, a study showed that the US had the lowest life expectancy among high-income countries. Why are things still getting worse, asks Laudan Aron.

New Letter to the Editor titled, "Prospects for Leveling the Playing Field for Black Children With Autism." This work follows the medical model of disability, but it's an important read nonetheless.
Black autistic children don't have access to early diagnosis and subsequent developmental therapy, but efforts in St. Louis and Atlanta show that they certainly could.
