Project: Humanities Education for Anti-Racism Literacy in the Sciences and Medicine (HEAL)

"HEAL is a 3-year project funded by the Mellon Foundation’s Just Futures Initiative. We are a large, cross-racial and interdisciplinary team that seeks to improve equitable access to higher education by drawing on humanities research to advance anti-racist practices and pedagogy in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM). Our aim is to center the educational experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students to build more accurate narratives about histories of racism in the sciences and medicine to better understand persistent underrepresentation and to develop educational tools for building a more equitable university and society."
