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 towards positive change.

Through these five sessions, facilitators will present an overview of antiracist theory and methodology. Building on this foundational knowledge, participants will then explore how an antiracism practice can improve their experiences in their respective fields, help them recast an existing project or problem through an antiracist lens, and empower them to be actively antiracist in their professional and personal lives.
