Co-hosts Desmond Williams and Emerald Asuncion welcome Jenny Lorca and Dr. Mehmoona Moosa-Mitha to the PEPR podcast. Together they delve into the critical need for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization (EDID) in pain research.

Our guests share their expertise and lived experiences, highlighting the intersection of chronic pain with social inequities and structural violence. Join us as we explore the systemic failures in healthcare, the importance of decolonizing pain research, and the role of unconscious bias in perpetuating inequities. This enriching conversation is a call to recognize pain as not just a biomedical issue, but a profound social justice challenge.

PEPR (Partnership for the Engagement of People in Pain Research) is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
