Courageous Conversations: Understanding the Impact and Role of Institutionalized Racism on Disproportionate and Disparate Outcomes for Vulnerable Populations
Hours: 3
| Race, institutionalized racism, and social injustices are at the core of disproportionate
and disparate outcomes for poor communities and communities of color.
In this session participants will have courageous conversations about race and will learn
about the history and impact of institutionalized racism on poor communities and
communities of color, the ethical concept of social injustice on these communities,
and the correlation between health inequities and social injustices.
Participants will also discuss current thinking and racial biases regarding why people are
poor and how these biases contribute to racial inequality and social injustice; how they
impact ethical decision making, service delivery, access to services; and contribute to
disproportionate and disparate health, education, and other outcomes. This workshop is being facilitated by Joyce James, Associate Deputy Executive Commissioner, Center for Elimination of Disproportionality and Disparities Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
This workshop is sponsored by The Cultural Competence Work Group. |
