Discussant: Dionne Powell, M.D. In the fourth part of University Forum: Racism in
America we expand our vital discussion of race to
contrast how the categorization of race as a social
construct versus racial difference as a biological
entity impact theory formulation and practice in
the biological and psychological sciences. Evelynn
Hammonds, Ph.D., formerly Dean of Harvard College,
who holds joint appointments in the Department
of the History of Science and the Department of
African and African American Studies at Harvard,
will integrate the history of sociopolitical concepts
of race, the history of disease, and public health, in
the sciences and medicine, and present “The Return
of Biological Race in the 21st Century?” Dorothy
Roberts, J.D., an acclaimed scholar of race, gender
and the law, in the University Pennsylvania Law
School and Departments of Africana Studies and
Sociology, will review advances in scientific research
that elucidate race-based genetic differences in the
human genome, and propose an alternative model
for studying race and racism in, “Racism, and the
New Racial Science in the Genomic Age.” | | MP3 | | $30.00 | | $30.00 | |
| | | Trans13-203 | | Special Topics – Trans Training Tools Speakers: Emilia Dunham, BA; Harvey Makadon, MD Affirmative care for transgender and gender non-conforming people: Best practices for front-line
health care staff
In collaboration with trans health care providers, researchers and front-line staff, the National LGBT Health Education Center at The Fenway Institute created a helpful tool of best practices for front-line health care staff to provide affirmative care for transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. Our needs assessments and review of available research reveal a great need for front-line staff to learn how to appropriately and sensitively communicate with transgender patients. With increased need for health centers and other health care organizations to become more culturally competent in providing affirmative services for transgender clients, this tool addresses the often overlooked best practices for training front-line staff. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
