    Hi all! Just wanted to let you know about a webinar organized by the BIPOC Affinity Group for the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Webinar Series.

    Physical and Psychological Impacts of Racial Injustice

    Speakers:
    Dr. Rupa Valdez, Associate Professor, University of Virginia
    Dr. Nina Jablonski, Evan Pugh University Professor of Anthropology, The Pennsylvania State University.

    In this time of reckoning with racial inequity and injustice it is imperative to understand the pervasive and profound impacts of racism which are endemic in our society. The negative impacts can affect communities of color health, education, wealth and employment.  This webinar will introduce the adverse impacts of racism of health, as well as describing how racial/ethnic consideration is not often incorporated into the design process of technology.
