Anti-Racism and Community Health
Conference
About ARCH
We hope that attendees will leave the conference inspired and equipped to take action with knowledge of basic concepts of social justice work, an understanding of the importance of diversity in the public health field, and knowledge on how to utilize cultural humility when working with local communities.
The Anti-Racism and Community Health Conference is a day-long program conference curated by the Students of Color for Public Health at the University of Washington.
We know our current healthcare system is not built to provide equitable healthcare services for all. With this in mind, our goal is to facilitate a collaborative community health conference to identify and prioritize needs, barriers, and solutions in confronting how racism and white supremacy have caused detrimental health outcomes in our communities. This conference will feature a range of public health professionals as speakers, workshop leaders, and panelists. As a collective, speakers and attendees will critically examine their own identities and lived experiences to question how our health has been impacted by racism.
