Webinar: Can understanding Whiteness improve anti-racism activities in health?
This webinar took place in English.
Public health organizations and practitioners are taking more of an interest in how to apply a decolonizing anti-racism approach to their work. This session will turn the gaze on Whiteness as a systemic feature and driver of racial inequities. Lifting the veil on Whiteness challenges its “normalcy” in settler colonial states like Canada and New Zealand.
We will discuss markers of Whiteness in health and in organizational settings. Furthermore, we will highlight the impact of Whiteness on health. The session will conclude with consideration of critical Whiteness approaches that are part of decolonizing anti-racist practice.
