Symposium on Afrofuturism and Diasporic Research

This presentation connects the sociohistorical roots of Black health and wellness to current challenges while envisioning a future of health equity where Black communities thrive. Grounded in critical health, and social justice frameworks, this hybrid format blends a brief lecture and interactive “Musical Research Tables,” participants will explore historical health inequities, ethical dilemmas, and the importance of “safe” online and offline spaces. Facilitated by the Black Health Lab, this session fosters collaboration and discussion regarding strategies to advance systemic change and inspire attendees to champion health and wellness in their work.
