Join us as MD-PhD student Yasmine Elmi highlights  some of the central questions in debates on race-based health data: What is race-based data meant to do? Under what conditions can it support health equity, and when might it reproduce harm? What responsibilities come with collecting and using these data?

Grounded in two Lancet commentaries, Yasmine will examine how racial categories are socially constructed, how race-based data have historically been used both to document inequities and to reinforce harm, and why accountability, community governance, and data sovereignty are necessary for ethical data practices.

If you’re fascinated by the ways data can reveal inequities and drive more equitable health outcomes, this will be an hour well spent!
