Event Description
The disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people of color has shown us once again how racism and bias that lie at the root of health inequities. Learn more about 1000 Cut Journey, an immersive virtual reality racism experience. In this virtual experience, viewers become Michael Sterling, a Black man, encountering racism as a young child, adolescent, and young adult. Courtney Cogburn will discuss her work using virtual reality technology to build racial empathy and the findings of her recent study using 1000 Cut Journey as a component of professional development.
