About the project

The purpose of the Defining and Developing Black Health National Learning Competencies in Medical and Public Health Education: A Mixed Methods Study research project is to generate evidence for policy options that integrate and standardize anti- racist pedagogy specific to Black health in medical and public health training and support. Through prospective policy analysis, development and implementation, the research aims to engage with policy- and decision-makers, trainees, patients, and Black health community groups to develop an effective framework and response to prioritizing Black health in Canada.

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.
