NCDS Lunch and Learn: How to Be An Antiracist Researcher
2022-04-07 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Antiracist researchers combat inequality and racism by conceptualizing, implementing, and disseminating research that dismantles racism, oppression, discrimination, and structural inequalities. This presentation offers participants an opportunity to learn how to engage in antiracist research by presenting a counter-narrative to the traditional conceptualization and implementation of research with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). During our time together, the panelists will

define antiracist research
offer unique principles for conducting antiracist research
present challenges the antiracist researcher will encounter
offer practical recommendations

Panelists include:

Dr. Trenette Goings – UNC School of Social Work
Dr. Faye Belgrave – Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), main campus
Dr. Maghboobah Mosavel – Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), medical campus
