Join us for "Applying Anti-Racism Principles in Health Care," on July 31, 12-2p.m. EDT/9-11 a.m. PDT. In this interactive workshop, Anna Hossain will be exploring systemic racism in the health care and research sectors.

Key highlights:

• Recognize how one's intersectionality influences our interactions in the workplace  

• Understand positionality, social location, and privilege in the context of systems, individual, and group dynamics  

• Identify strategies on how to incorporate race-conscious and anti-oppressive practices in day-to-day interactions
