'Steven Thrasher is a professor of journalism at Northwestern University and
the author of
The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease
Collide. He was also present at the Columbia protests over Gaza. He joined us
recently on the
Current Affairs podcast to discuss what he saw at the
protests, before moving on to discuss his concept of the "viral underclass,"
tracing how inequality and disease interact, from the AIDS crisis to COVID-19.
An excerpt from this interview was played in our recent audio documentary on
the Gaza protests.'
