This free, full-day symposium will bring together leading scholars, community organizers, and policy makers to examine how structural racism shapes health — and to explore whether reparations can begin to address the wide disparities in access and outcomes. We’ll have plenty of opportunities for interaction, so bring your questions and ideas!

Check-in starts at 8 a.m. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
