Part of the Odeh Center Health Equity Speaker Series.
Brenikki Floyd, associate dean for community engagement at the UIC School of Public Health, presents “Centering Knowledge Translation in Health Equity for Empowered Communities.”
The goal of this session is to center and care for communities by discussing methods that can be utilized in public health practice to co-create knowledge and movements of resistance. The discussion takes place from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Additionally, illustrator and graphic recorder Yen Azzaro will join Floyd during her session and record what is said in real time through drawing. She will also host a community tutorial on how to do such illustrations through a series of warm up exercises, a doodle lesson and methods to organize note-taking.
We strongly encourage in-person attendance for all who can make it happen. We will have a warm meal to share with you that day.
