Sayantani DasGupta’s course for CSER, Abolition Medicine, is featured in The Columbia Spectator as a new course inspired by COVID-19, pushing students to think themselves out of the pandemic. “Their final will be either as an individual or a group to write an op-ed or public-facing essay,” DasGupta said. “I’m going to ask them to pick a venue, like Slate, or the New York Times op-ed section, or whatever it is, and ask them to construct a public argument around health and race and put it out there in the world.”
