Are You Calling Me a Racist? Why We Need to Stop Talking About Race and Start Making Real Antiracist Change
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) are concepts that health care systems are embracing, yet many struggle with where to start and how to progress.These DEIB efforts are driven by staff, by financial stakeholder requirements, and by data showing disheartening health disparities.Many organizations hire consultants or create diversity officer positions to conduct workshops, learning series, or task forces, but with mixed results.Dr Sarita Srivastava, dean and professor of sociology at the Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto, takes on the how and why behind these efforts, weaving together her own experiences as an educator and activist with extensive research and analysis of historical and contemporary events.She explores the current state of understanding around bias, discrimination, racism, and diversity, and the limitations of efforts to move from conversation to action.
