Intended for participants of all training levels, this workshop helps members of the biomedical research community develop skills about how thoughtfully to communicate the use of race and ethnicity in their work.
We will highlight examples of current communication of race and ethnicity in published research; cross-disciplinary "best practices"; common poor practices (i.e., ambiguous or harmful language); and how participants can improve their own writing and communication around race and ethnicity.
Our four-hour interactive workshop will include brief lectures paired with small-group activities in which participants will practice applying core concepts. We will also share a detailed resources packet that includes guidelines, readings, and other materials supporting thoughtful and clear communication of race and ethnicity in research.
