George Aumoithe is an Assistant Professor of History and African and African American Studies at Harvard University. His research explores the intersections of U.S. healthcare, civil rights law, and comparative welfare state policies, with a focus on structural racism and medical scarcity. He holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University and has held postdoctoral roles at Princeton University. Aumoithe’s work critiques how postwar fiscal policies and colorblind ideologies resegregated healthcare systems, disproportionately impacting marginalized communities. His current book project, *Medical Scarcity*, traces the genealogy of healthcare retrenchment from the postwar era to present. He has been supported by prestigious fellowships including the Woodrow Wilson Foundation and American Philosophical Society.
