Structural racism refers to the public and private policies, institutional practices, norms and cultural representations that inherently procure opportunity, value, advantage or disadvantage to individuals and populations according to their race/ethnicity both across the life course and between generations. The Committee on Population will convene a two-day public workshop to identify and discuss the sources and mechanisms through which structural racism operates. Invited experts will not only provide insights into known sources of structural racism and models of health equity, but also go beyond these to discuss novel sources and approaches, informed by other disciplines or related fields.
