The Anti-Racist Cities & Counties (ARCC) Towards Justice Project: A Case Study (Live Webinar-CE)

Live Webinar - Nov. 13, 2024 from 10-11 AM ET (Registration closes at 8 AM ET on Nov. 13. The Zoom link will be emailed prior to start.)

CE and certificate of completion are free.

This webinar will showcase a community-based collaborative research partnership between a midwestern local health department and a University research team. The partnership worked to create processes to help address racism at the institutional level and better integrate marginalized community members into decision-making. Through a six-session collaborative process with representation from county-wide community members, local health department leadership, and relevant staff, the work group produced a Racial Justice Impact Assessment (RJIA) Tool. The project was grounded in anti-racist concepts including public health critical race praxis, community-based participatory research, and bounded justice. 

Eligible for 1.0 DEI CPE credit for UM-SPH staff and faculty.
