 WGS professor [Marya Mtshali ](/people/marya-mtshali)was quoted in a *MarketWatch* aticle about [why Asian and Black Americans continue to experience COVID-19-related discrimination](https://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-asian-and-black-americans-continue-to-experience-covid-19-related-discrimination-and-what-you-can-do-about-it-2020-07-10). "We have these historical racist images of these two groups that have been a part of our country for a long time, and we have the current realities of what’s going on with COVID-19. Both of these are influencing the experiences that Asian Americans and Black Americans are reporting," says Mtshali in the article.

 This year, Professor Mtshali is teaching [two WGS courses](/wgs-courses) that examine the intersection between gender and race: WOMGEN 1278 *Interracial Intimacy: Sex, Race, and Romance in the U.S.* and WOMGEN 1274 *Gender, Race, and Poverty in the United States.* Please join us in congratulating Professor Mtshali for her scholarship and teaching on this important topic.
