School of Population & Global Health
McGill University
September 28, 2023 from 16H00-17H30
Location: Zoom
Embedding anti-racist pedagogy into medical and health sciences education.
Being an ethical and antiracist educator requires ongoing reflection on the colonial assumptions dominating medical and health sciences education. Foundational principles of anti-racist pedagogy will be introduced and common challenges and pitfalls that faculty members and teaching assistants experience in the learning environment will be examined. Approaches to deepen one’s preparation and response to difficult moments as they arise will be offered, while considering proactive strategies to integrate inclusive practices into teaching practice to advance health equity and justice.
Ananya Tina Banerjee is an Assistant Professor and the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism Lead at the School of Population & Global Health, McGill University. She developed and offered the first course on race and health in a school of public health in Canada in 2015. She is well known for her anti-racism and anti-oppression practice in the learning environment and providing critical mentorship for racialized students in public health programs. Dr. Banerjee’s classroom practices, reflections and research focused on anti-racism have been widely published in the BMJ, Lancet, and Canadian Journal of Public Health. She won the 2022 McGill Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine Teaching Innovation Award recognizing her unique pedagogy for inclusive public health education and she serves on The Lancet’s International Advisory Board for Racial Inequalities.
