Race, Racism, & Health: From Theory to Praxis

Instructor: Jourdyn A. Lawrence, PhD, MSPH, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology, Urban Health Collaborative, Drexel Dornsife School of Public Health

Dates: Monday, June 22 - Friday, June 26

Times: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. EST

Format: Hybrid instruction

This course will support participants in moving from racial equity as a theory into practice. We will develop a shared language and understanding of equity-centered health theories and how we came to be where we are. Participants will then gain an understanding of existing measures of structural, institutional, and interpersonal racism and how they are associated with health. We will then examine existing efforts within cities and communities to apply equity principles and where efforts are sustained through shared power.

Prerequisites: Familiarity with basic quantitative analytic approaches — regression, descriptive epidemiology. We will cover some things but not in detail.

Continuing Education Credits*: 1.5 CEU or 15 CPH
