Join Nashman Affiliate Faculty members Howard Straker, EdD, MPH, PA Assistant Professor, GW SMHS Director, GW PA/MPH Program & Susan LeLacheur, DrPH, PA-C Professor, GW SMHS Department of Physician Assistant Studies, for Session 4 of the Health Equity Series.
The session will occur Thursday, Dec 12 from 10-11am in Gelman room 101, National Churchill Library.
This session will discuss how to create a safe and inclusive classroom for vulnerable conversations while sharing strategies and tools for facilitating discussions about bias; including race/class/sexuality in case studies, and teaching beyond the “hidden” curriculum. Attendees will learn to: 
- Name three common challenges that make instructors and learners feel discomfort with discussing race, power, and privilege;
- State comfort with translating the SMHS curriculum guidelines on how to talk about social differences in case studies and discussion boards; and
- Acknowledge the need to push back against limited canons of texts, resources, and stories that either perpetuate stereotypes or normalize dominant narratives on social identities.
