Ethnoracial Analysis
|
Structural racism is persistent in all areas of society, including science and health care. To help encourage important conversations surrounding this topic, the CHAIM Centre collaborated with faculty in the Department of Neuroscience on an Ethnoracial Analysis (ERA) project. For this initiative, 7 students were paired with faculty members to conduct targeted literature reviews assessing how racial considerations have been included (or excluded) in a given area of research. With support from the CHAIM Centre and the MacOdrum Library Discovery Centre, these analyses are being used to facilitate discussions about race in various Neuroscience courses at Carleton University. It was also an excellent learning opportunity for the students involved, as indicated in the blog written by Mysa Myers.

The CHAIM Centre also produced an accompanying series of educational videos exploring questions of why race matters to science, what it represents, and how ethnoracial analysis can be ethically incorporated into research.
