The annual UCSF Health Equity and Anti-Racism Research (HEAR) Symposium showcases research and action to advance health equity and anti-racism. Our purpose is to inspire future collaborations and research direction by highlighting the breadth and depth of health equity, health disparities and anti-racism research. The goal of the symposium is to build community among researchers across disciplines and across units, schools and campus sites and the wider Bay Area. 

Monica McLemore, PhD, MPH, RN will deliver the keynote address. Dr. McLemore is Interim Director, Center for Anti-Racism, and Professor, Department of Child, Family, and Population Health Nursing; and Professor, School of Public Health, at University of Washington.  She is the Editor-In-Chief of Health Equity Journal; Immediate Past Chair for the Sexual and Reproductive Health Section of the American Public Health Assoication; and Board Member of the Black Mamas Matter Alliance. 

This year, HEAR Symposium programming will include a networking social hour and School of Nursing, Office of Diversity and Outreach, and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation hosted screening of the documentary Everybody's Work: Healing What Hurts Us All with panel discussion featuring Dr. McLemore following the symposium.
