About the series
The Interprofessional Dialogues Committee announced the new Structural Racism Dialogues series. The goal of this committee is to create ways to build a stronger community among faculty, staff and students within the Health Education Campus, across CWRU and with the neighborhoods adjacent to campus. One of the ways the committee hopes to accomplish this goal is through monthly dialogues about structural racism and how we can all work to mitigate this public health crisis on campus and in our communities.
Each Structural Racism Dialogue will begin with a 15-20 minute presentation on a topic within the theme of structural racism. After the presentation, participants will be placed in Zoom breakout rooms to dialogue about the topic for approximately 30 minutes. At the conclusion of the one-hour dialogue, everyone will reconvene in the large Zoom room to debrief and discuss next steps.
Each topic will be offered twice a month. An individual participant can come to either session as the sessions will address the same topic in a given month. Two different days and times for the same session will be offered to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules. The presentations will be recorded and available on the Office for Interprofessional Education, Research and Collaborative Practice’s website. The small-group dialogues will not be recorded.
