On March 7th, we gathered in a virtual and in-person community at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans to kick off the Ways of Knowing Symposia series, co-hosted by Evidence for Action and Partners for Advancing Health Equity. Co-organizers and participants discussed different ways knowledge is created, valued, and distributed, and delved into conversations about the structures of power in Indigenous ways of knowing, the roles researchers play in learning and sharing knowledge, and interrogating systemic and structural racism in purposeful systematic ways. This event illuminated topics and insights that will be further explored in the next four Ways of Knowing convenings to be held around the country over the course of the year. |
