Course Description: This course will highlight the history and current-day structural racism in science, public health and clinical practice. This series aims to critique how science and public health are practiced by engaging with guest speakers, critical race theory and science and technology studies. A sociological lens will be used to explore how racism in science is constructed, including the funding of science, how research is designed and racist practices in health care settings. Together we will examine our role as researchers and practitioners in reimagining a more equitable science.
