Injustice by Design (2 days) IN PERSON

Structural racism refers to the public and private policies, institutional practices, cultural norms and mechanisms that contribute to inequality as defined by unequal freedom, opportunity, value, resources, advantage, restrictions, and/or social constraints. Structural racism is often interwoven throughout communities and contributes to societal inequalities in housing, economic development, food access, health care, environmental stability, education, and public safety. Recognizing this, there is a need to better understand how different elements of structural racism work together to perpetuate injustices in laws, policies, and practices that impact people on a daily basis. The purpose of this 2-part (16 hour) interactive workshop is to explore the sources and mechanisms through which structural racism operates, how it contributes to inequality, and how to mitigate its impact. Dr. Chenelle Jones will not only provide insights into known sources of structural racism and models of health equity, she will also go beyond these to discuss the impact of urban development on communities of color.

Upon conclusion of the workshop, attendees will be able to:

1. Define structural racism
2. Describe the impact of structural racism on urban development
3. Describe the impact of structural racism on healthcare
4. Describe historical events that have contributed to contemporary power inequities
5. Implement effective strategies to mitigate the impact of structural racism and promote social equity
