Room: TBD

Sponsors: Educational Problems

Organizers: Jennifer Roebuck Bulanda, Miami University

Description: 

Many current and prospective educators and learners in academic medical and higher education are excluded from full participation based on race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, ableism, sexual orientation, and related characteristics. Yet many employ strategies such as leaning on epistemic communities, drawing on cultural connections, contributing expert knowledge, and resisting and persisting despite historical exclusion. This session explores how marginalized educators and learners participate in medical and health education. We also welcome works in progress highlighting innovative research designs and decolonizing methodologies that examine how members exert agency as they navigate their worlds. We are interested in the potential futures of medical and health education and broader institutions during this period of backlash against the participation of minoritized communities and the implications this has for society.
