NCDS: How to be an Antiracist Researcher
Thu. 7 Apr, 2022 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS) will host a panel discussion on How to be an Antiracist Researcher. The event will be held in partnership with the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) and the South Big Data Hub.
Antiracist researchers combat inequality and racism by conceptualizing, implementing, and disseminating research that dismantles racism, oppression, discrimination, and structural inequalities. This presentation offers participants an opportunity to learn how to engage in antiracist research by presenting a counter-narrative to the traditional conceptualization and implementation of research with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). During our time together, the panelists will:
- define antiracist research
- offer unique principles for conducting antiracist research
- present challenges the antiracist researcher will encounter
- offer practical recommendations
Our panelists include:
- Trenette Goings, PhD – UNC School of Social Work
- Faye Belgrave, PhD – Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), main campus
- Maghboobah Mosavel, PhD – Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), medical campus
