Fireside Chat: Let's Chat about Race & Cancer Research Wednesday, February 22 | 12-1pm
February is Black History Month! This Black History Month, we are thinking critically about race and cancer research with Dr. Mya Roberson, social epidemiologist and health equity researcher. In this candid conversation, Dr. Roberson will discuss the role of Critical Race Theory in cancer outcomes research with a reflection on how historical processes affect contemporary cancer research. Specific applications will be offered from precision oncology with a focus on genetic and genomic services delivery. This session will also offer key insights for how to center patient voice and health equity in cancer research. REGISTER >>

C2DREAM Conference Tuesday, May 23 | All day
C2DREAM aims to research the contribution of structural and interpersonal racism to disparities in chronic disease including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the related chronic conditions (RCC) of hypertension and obesity.
In Minnesota, where the murder of Mr. George Floyd at the hands of police instigated a local, national, and global reckoning on the pervasiveness of racism, there is an urgent need to understand and ultimately address the ways that racism undermines the well-being of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities. The mission of C2DREAM is to reduce disparities in CVD and RCC experienced by BIPOC communities including immigrants and refugees across Minnesota.
C2DREAM's regional partnership of academic institutions and community stakeholders is poised to understand and ultimately address the ways that racism undermines the well-being of BIPOC communities across Minnesota.
