Time: 12:00pm- 1:30pm
Where: Brown Lounge, Brown Hall
The Center for Community Health Partnership & Research at the Institute for Public Health and Institute of Clinical & Translational Sciences presents Collaborative for Community-Centered Conversations, a.k.a. “Collaborative Café”. Collaborative Café offers opportunities for researchers and community partners to network, share experiences, and learn from each other.
The first in our fall series of events focused on racial equity, this panel discussion will explore the principles and foundations of the term “racial equity” in St. Louis and how clinicians, researchers, and services providers can apply these principles to practice. The event will end with time for Q&A.
This event is open to all faculty, students, researchers, community members, and organizations dedicated to advancing equity through community-engaged research. This event will take place in person on the Washington University Danforth Campus.
Registration is strongly encouraged. Light refreshments will be provided.
