White’s research focuses on the social impacts of infectious disease outbreaks, analyzing historical and contemporary responses through the lenses of race, capitalism, and colonialism. He has contributed extensively to sociology, public health, and social science history journals, as well as medical publications like the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet.
His recent publications examine structural racism in healthcare, global health disparities, and the colonial underpinnings of epidemic control. The 2023 monograph Epidemic Orientalism reinterprets Edward Said’s theory to critique Western-dominated international health regulations. His collaborative work addresses residential segregation during the pandemic, economic drivers of xenophobia in outbreak responses, and anticolonial frameworks for understanding health inequity.
