ATLANTA—Dayna Bowen Matthew, Dean and Harold H. Greene Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School, will kick off the new Grand Rounds Lecture Series at the Georgia State University School of Public Health.

Matthew is the author of the best-selling book “Just Medicine: A Cure for Racial Inequality in American Health Care.” Her talk at Georgia State shares the title of her newest book, “Just Health: Treating Structural Racism to Heal America.” It will be held on October 18 at 2 p.m. in the Speaker’s Auditorium of the Student Center.
