Addressing racism: do theory & methods matter? - part 1|3

In this first event in the Dean’s Inclusive Excellence Lecture Series at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, Chandra L. Ford, PhD, MPH, MLIS proposes that research can be a powerful weapon for advancing the cause of equity, illustrates why for such research to be meaningful we must be more thoughtful about how we use theory and methods, and offers excerpts from her recently published book, Racism: Science & Tools for the Public Health
Professional.
