Race and Psychiatry Journal Club
Our mission is to advance racial health equity and investigate how racism and discrimination affect mental health outcomes.
We aim to provide space for critical reflection on how race is considered in psychiatric research, as well as gain insight into the unique challenges faced by minoritized individuals in healthcare. This knowledge will enable us as a department to design more equitable psychiatric research.
Leading committee
Activities
We host one presentation per month (excluding term breaks) on relevant research in race & psychiatry. This can include presentations from internal or external academics in the space, or presenting relevant published literature (more ‘traditional journal club’ style).
