Webinar series on anti-Black racism and public health

This webinar series will take place in English with closed captioning and simultaneous French interpretation. 

Black health: a key area for public health education and action

Anti-Black racism is a specific form of racism, rooted in the colonial history and practice of enslavement, that continues to impact the lives of Black people, regardless of whether they have a specific lineage to the enslaved in Canada, or if they are recent comers to Canada. Policies and practices rooted in Canadian institutions such as, health care, education, and justice mirror and reinforce beliefs, attitudes, prejudice, stereotyping and/or discrimination towards people of African descent and lead to a lack of equitable access, opportunities and outcomes for Black people. 

Recognizing the need for specialized public health education and action in this area, the NCCDH is partnering with the Black Health Education Collaborative, a community of scholars and practitioners committed to improving Black health through education and research. This partnership will offer the Canadian public health community an important capacity building opportunity in the form of a three-part interactive webinar series. In this series, participants will explore how anti-Black racism impacts health and identify concrete opportunities for public health action.  


Part 2: Anti-Black racism: A look at the social and physiological health impacts of injustice.

In part 2, we will discuss the manifestations of anti-Black racism on the health, well-being and lives of Black people, and provide opportunities to reflect on anti-Black racist public health practices as a step towards accountability.  

As a result of participating in this webinar, participants will  

  • Identify the physiological impacts of racism  
  • Unlearn race-based medicine and understand racism as a structural determinant of health  
  • Recognize anti-Black racism as a form of lateral violence in public health  
  • Amplify community voices and solutions to address anti-Black racism in public health
