Odum Institute: Equity Consideration For Scholars

Tue. 10 Nov, 2020 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Odum Institute Short Course - Equity Consideration For Scholars: Taking A Critical Approach To Research

In the face of increasing awareness of the need to capture the diversity of human experience, there has also been increasing concern to study and describe populations from a critical and equitable perspective. As science is itself a cultural practice, and knowledge production can perpetuate social inequalities prevalent in social systems, many times, scholars may perpetuate inequity through language use, methods, theories, and findings.

During this workshop, the following will be discussed with implications for our practice as scholars:

  1. How to refer to others and be critical and thoughtful of our language use (terms and generalizations)
  2. How to question what is being said and what is left unsaid (e.g. mitigating discursive erasures)
  3. How to recognize and refer to the possible limitations of our scholarship (e.g. issues of generalizability, cultural elements in our findings)

Sheps Center: Teaching Journal Articles

Tue. 10 Nov, 2020 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Interdisciplinary Seminar in Health Equity - Teaching Journal Articles: Focus on Health Disparities Research Articles

This is the second academic year of funding for this seminar. The Sheps Center's previous year goals will carry forward this year with some additions and improvements. The Center still aims to become acquainted with researchers and students who are involved in or interested in health disparities, to understand how to build and refine the Program in Health Disparities Research at the Sheps Center based on interaction with seminar attendees and their identified needs, and to provide a space for researchers and students to present (and solicit feedback) on past and current research to a group of peers.

The general theme of this academic year’s seminar is on the impact structures have on health disparities.
