Measuring Structural Racism in Minnesota: A Call to Action—4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 18 via Zoom
Join University School of Public Health Associate Professor Rachel Hardeman in a virtual community conversation on what structural racism means for Black, Indigenous, and people of color in the Twin Cities urban areas and how it plays out in our lives. Deeply embedded in American society, operationalizing and measuring structural racism in Minnesota is important in our work to eliminate health inequities and create opportunities and policies that support health and well being. Hardeman is a 2020 UROC Research Agenda grant recipient for her project Operationalizing and Measuring Structural Racism in Minnesota, which aims to explore the measurement of the impact of structural racism in urban communities and document the ways that Black communities have been and are currently systemically disenfranchised.
