Workshop series: Antiracism in a Scientific Community

Bias and racism continue to infiltrate many aspects of the medical and biomedical field. This workshop series is designed to empower participants with the tools to resist racism and racist practices and to work toward positive change.

In this five-session virtual series, participants will work toward and practice recasting an existing project or problem through an antiracist lens. Facilitators will present an overview of antiracist methodology and lead small groups in discussions that connect theory to practice. There is no background required, only a willingness to engage in conversation. We hope to empower participants to be antiracist in their professional and personal lives.
