Community of Practice: Anti-Racist Teaching for Health Education

About the project

The Community of Practice (CoP) engages educators who focus on Black health and utilize anti-racist pedagogy. The CoP brings together educators in health disciplines within Canada who are actively engaged in teaching and addressing anti-Black racism within health curricula and practice. In recognition that anti-Black racism continues to be pervasive within health education, we see a need to create a community of practice to connect educators across the nation and build capacity and networks amongst those doing this critical work.

​

This is a space for members to co-create, collaborate, share, and leverage tools and knowledge that further actions and prioritizes disrupting and addressing anti-Black racism within health programs. Collectively, we will strategize on solving pervasive issues that limit institutional engagement with anti-Black racism within health and health care.

The Black Health Education Collaborative acknowledges with gratitude the Indigenous and Afri-Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island who continue to thrive and resist colonial violence while striving for self-determination and decolonial futures. We live, work and play in various territories including the lands of the Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississauga’s of the Credit River; Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, the Anishinaabe, and on the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation; Kanien:keha’ka and Mi’kmaq.

 

We remember our ancestors, forcibly displanted African peoples, trafficked into Turtle Island as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and the histories and legacies of colonialism and neo-colonialism which continue to impact African Peoples and the descendants of the Black diaspora across the world.

 

We recognize that racial colonial violence harms Black, Afri-Indigenous and Indigenous Peoples through both common and distinct logics and actions. We recognize our responsibility and obligations as African Peoples to be good guests on these lands. We offer thanks to our elders and communities from whom we learn. May your wisdom inform our actions towards a more just future.
