“Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired: Advancing Antiracism Scholarship and Solutions Beyond the Pandemic”

About the Event

The Center for the Study of Racism, Social Justice & Health at UCLA hosts a Distinguished Quarterly Speaker Series during each quarter of the academic year. For Fall 2022, our speaker will be Dr. Sharrelle Barber from Drexel University and the Ubuntu Center on Racism, Global Movements & Population Health Equity.

We invite you to join us for Dr. Barber's presentation about the deadly consequences of racism that have been on full display during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Fannie Lou Hamer's life and activism as an entry point, this talk will explore data on racial inequities in Black communities and discuss ways the field of public health can advance antiracism scholarship and solutions beyond the pandemic.

Dr. Barber will speak via Zoom, and all are welcome to register. For those on the UCLA campus, we invite you to join us at the Neuroscience Research Building (NRB) Auditorium for a live webcast of Dr. Barber’s presentation, followed by a brief in-person discussion among attendees.
