Week 5 Reading Assignment
Anti-racism praxis goes beyond identifying the issues and allows individuals and communities to develop their own goals and objectives.
Anti-racism praxis expands to call out all individuals and groups to envision a world where specific populations do not experience racism or disproportionate health inequities.
Anti-racism praxis promotes interventions guided by targeted, context-specific and focused on changing behavioural actions.
Individuals must reflect on how the systems operate and their historical impacts, designed to positively impact some populations and oppress others.
Embedding decolonial processes into Health Promotion is a vital aspect that all public health practitioners must consider, reflect and engage in.
Individuals and community organizations can begin to engage communities and populations impacted by colonization and health inequities by building mutual trust, respect and transparency.
Creating safe spaces which promote self-determination and privilege knowledge, teachings and values of marginalized communities and populations.
This process begins with the individual reflecting on colonial structures, worldviews and colonial legacies.
A challenge of implementing decolonizing principles and approaches into health promotion is due to limited examples and guidance.
Examining community-based knowledge and reports can be a way to engage in decolonizing approaches and acknowledge that evidence-based, peer-reviewed articles are not the only form of evidence.
Like the creation of the Applied Decolonial Framework, this is an essential step to creating examples (frameworks and guiding principles) in areas that do not have a large amount of evidence-based research. It is also necessary to ensure that community-based participatory approaches are prioritized.
Using and implementing the Applied Decolonial Framework can be a useful tool for public health practitioners.
Increased understanding of Race vs. Racism and how racism is intertwined within systems and institutions.
Racism is a "system of power" embedded within structures, policies, practices, and decision-making values that aids in upholding health inequities.
Racism oppresses the less dominant groups such as Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC).
Institutions have chosen to focus on "race" rather than "racism" to continue to conceal the role of racism and how it contributes to health inequities.
The role that individual and family income plays concerning the level of health outcomes and inequities experienced in Canada and what health promoters can do about it.
Health promoters can engage in public education and highlight the importance of promoting health policy.
Health promoters switch the narrative from a biomedical perspective to prioritizing the lived experiences and community-based knowledge of populations experiencing disproportionate rates of health inequities.
This results from government systems and institutions increasing income and wealth inequality, resulting in persistent poverty and increased health inequities.
