Led by Dr. April Bell, workshop participants will explore how digital storytelling can help us hear, honor, amplify and celebrate the voices of the communities we work with. Together, we’ll break down what digital storytelling is, why it matters, and how it can transform the way we approach research, advocacy, and community engagement.
Dr. Bell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine in the School of Medicine at UCSF, and was a PTBi Postdoctoral Research Fellow.
