Date & Time: Wednesday, September 27th @ 10a-12p Meeting Modality: Zoom (the Zoom link will shared with you after registration) Intended Audience: This session is open to all SPH Faculty & Staff and Post-Docs and helps fulfill the required 8 DEI CPE hours. Session Summary: Recent discussions around root causes of social, political, and economic inequity have emerged in response to “the perfect storm” of a pandemic, racial unrest, and political divide over the last few years. Often lacking from these conversations is the throughline that runs from this country’s foundation to differences across health and life trajectory still at work today. This session will help participants:
- learn about the historical underpinnings of the harmful power imbalances we see and experience today,
- connect that historic legacy to the field of Public Health and
- begin to consider our own relationship to these power imbalances as faculty & staff in a school of public health.
