Transforming academia for equity resource guide
The intentional centering of anti-racism—that is the practice of opposing racism and promoting racial equity—is rooted in both current and historical conditions that define the context of our nation more widely. To help support the intentional centering of anti-racism, we have developed this resource guide to provide College of Health professionals with a roadmap to implement equitable and inclusive strategies within our institution and communities.
The Health Equity Guide is a comprehensive resource for public health departments and practitioners to plan and implement health equity and racial justice work. It offers 15 strategic practices, organized using a cyclical gardening framework, to illustrate how each mutually supports health equity goals.
