Racialized health inequities are present for a wide range of health concerns. These inequities are rooted in structural racism and are a manifestation of Whiteness and White supremacy in public policies and institutional practices.
This session will turn the gaze on Whiteness as a systemic feature and driver of racial inequities. Lifting the veil on Whiteness challenges its “normalcy” in settler colonial states like Canada.
The webinar will be delivered in two parts.
In part 1 we will discuss markers of Whiteness in health and in organizational settings. Furthermore, we will highlight the impact of Whiteness on health. The session will consider critical Whiteness approaches that are part of decolonizing, anti-racist practice.
We will discuss three broad roles and opportunities for public health to meaningfully address Whiteness:
Part 2 will offer participants an opportunity to participate in group discussions on the material covered during the first session. Participation in Part 1 is required in order to participate in part 2.
