Public Health Resources for Equitable Education (PHREE)
Members of the School of Public Health must work together to eradicate the systemic barriers to health rooted in the intertwined structures of racism (e.g., education discrimination, mass incarceration, body politics, environmental racism).
It is crucial to understand that racism, not race, perpetuates these inequitable determinants of health. As part of the antiracism initiative within the SPH, these resources aim to build racial literacy and explore intersectionality.
Please note that this page is not limited to the currently existing resources and that you are invited to share additional resources.
