Gravlee (University of Florida). Andrea Eller (Anthropology) will be the moderator.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropologists and other social scientists commonly argue that race is a cultural construct, not a biological reality. But current debate over racial inequalities in health exposes a weakness in this formulation: If race is not biology, how do we account for biological differences\u2014from birth weight to causes of death\u2014between racially defined groups? Drawing from research on hypertension in the African Diaspora, I argue for moving beyond the critique of race as bad biology to show how race becomes biology through the embodiment of social inequalities. This shift requires as much attention to the concepts of biology and culture as it does to the concept of race.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Clarence C.
