Concept
 

Racism and prejudice towards Indigenous peoples is a determinant of Indigenous peoples’ health and well-being (or lack thereof). While cultural competencies and cultural safety courses are taking hold as ‘best practices’ across many jurisdictions, this seminar lecture presents more overtly the idea that racism remains a significant barrier to optimal health care relationship, and thus optimal health, still faced by Indigenous peoples.

The presentation will explore topics ranging from the fact that many Indigenous geographies are outcomes of racialized constructions about Indigenous peoples, that now form physical barriers to accessing health, through to ideas that imbedded stereotypes about Indigenous people continue to ‘colour’ ways health care professionals interact with Indigenous peoples, as patients, community members, or families and advocates.

The presentation will draw on multi-media ways that Indigenous people have expressed their realities of experiencing racism as a determinant of health and will also discuss ways that healthcare professionals might engage with the arts and humanities in order to delve more deeply and reflexively into personal orientations to Indigenous peoples and communities.

At the end of this webinar, participants will:

  • Understand historic and contemporary ways that Indigenous peoples are constructed as ‘othered’ subjects

  • Have new lenses through which to understand health-based interactions  with Indigenous peoples

  • Understand means of undertaking self-reflection to further and deepen personal thoughts about racism and Indigenous people

  • Have strengthened MOH Core competencies in the areas of 'Professional Practice' and 'Communication, Collaboration and Advocacy for the Public's Health' 

    This webinar builds capacity in the following Minimum MOH Core Competency areas (2009):

  • Policy, Planning and Program Development
  • Leadership and Management
