On Friday, June 26, Black PTs and PT students from across Canada and the UK will meet for a virtual conversation.
What: This is an invitation to a virtual dialogue to connect Black PTs and PT students from across Canada and the UK.
Who: This dialogue is for Black PTs and Black physiotherapy students in Canada and the UK. Other virtual opportunities may be organized in the future for allies interested in dismantling anti-Black racism, but this first meeting is only for Black PTs and PT students.
Why: The goal of the conversation is threefold:
- To build community and connection among Black PTs
- To make space for discussion about racism in the context of these difficult days, in a way that centres the lived experience of Black PTs and Black PT students
- To consider development of a future webinar (or series!) sharing stories and lived experiences of Black PTs as a step toward a more inclusive profession and world
When: Friday, June 26, 2020 from noon to 1 p.m.
Questions:
- If you are a Black PT or PT student looking for more information, please contact stephanie.lurch@utoronto.ca.
- If you are not a Black PT or PT student and have questions, please contact stephanie.nixon@utoronto.ca.
