Drexel’s Ubuntu Center launches teach-in series on health equity

 


The Ubuntu Center on Racism, Global Movements and Population Health Equity is rolling out a virtual teach-in series addressing the impact of structural racism.
The new series, which runs monthly March through June, to bridge connections between scholars, community residents, organizers, and activists about entrenched inequities created by racism and other systems of oppression.
“This new teach-in series ‘Pain. Power. Possibilities’ really is designed to help us think very deeply and critically about how structural racism shows up with regard to disinvestment and dispossession in our communities, to mass incarceration and the carceral state and also with regard to environmental racism and make those links to health and thinking about what research has been done and needs to be done and what actions grow out of the work that activists and organizers have been doing on the ground around these issues,” Dr. Sharrelle Barber, assistant professor of epidemiology and director of The Ubuntu Center.
