Jonathan Koffman: Hull York Medical School, United Kingdom
Jonathan Koffman, BA (Hons), MSc, Ph.D., is a medical sociologist who has conducted studies examining social inequity and palliative care experiences and outcomes for over 20 years. Recent world events, including the Empire Windrush scandal, Black Lives Matter, and COVID-19 pandemic, with their disproportionate impact on those from minoritized communities and low socioeconomic positions, have radically changed his views on the experience of those dying in the margins, questioning previous research on the manner in which study questions have been constructed, methods chosen to address those questions, and the way findings have been reported.
