About Us.
Our Mission
Transform medical and health professional education to improve the health of Black communities across Canada.
Who We Are
We are Black scholars and practitioners committed to transforming medical and health professional education in service of improved health of Black communities across Canada.
We address anti-Black racism and the interlocking systems that impact the health and wellbeing of Black communities across Canada
We draw on long histories of community and academic scholarship, activism and resistance from Black, critical race theory, queer, feminist, anti/decolonial traditions
We understand Black health and Black life as intricately connected to the places and spaces in which we live, work, love, play, worship and resist
Our Values
We value Blackness and Black Life
We value integrity and navigate our work with courage
We value ways of knowing rooted in Black and Africentric knowledges
We value innovation in learning and teaching
We value autonomy and self-determination of Black peoples
We value commitment and collaboration as integral to building relationships and sustaining action over the long-term to achieve racial justice
The Black Health Education Collaborative is a
pan-Canadian initiative
Our board members and staff are from various institutions across the country - University of Calgary, Dalhousie University, University of Manitoba, and the University of Toronto.
