Book Launch & Discussion with Dr. Shoumita Dasgupta

This event featured a book launch and conversation with Dr. Shoumita Dasgupta, Boston University faculty member, and educator, celebrating the release of her book Where Biology Meets Bias.

Drawing from her work as a physician, educator, and advocate, Dr. Dasgupta reflected on how personal narratives intersect with systems of medicine and public health, and how storytelling can serve as a powerful tool for advancing empathy, equity, and meaningful change within healthcare spaces.

The discussion invited attendees to consider the role of narrative in shaping more inclusive, patient-centered models of care and to reflect on how listening to lived experience can transform both clinical practice and institutional culture.
