"Everyone's Work: healing what hurts us all" Panel Discussion
Excelsior’s Center for Social Justice, School of Nursing, and the Race and Ethnicity Rope Team invite you to celebrate Black History Month with a panel discussion of the film “Everyone’s Work: Healing What Hurts Us All” on Tuesday, February 18, at 3–4 p.m. ET. If you haven’t already seen “Everyone’s Work: Healing What Hurts Us All,” sign up to receive a link and watch it at your convenience prior to the panel discussion. Alternatively, a screening of “Everyone’s Work: Healing What Hurts Us All” will be held at 2 p.m. ET prior to the panel discussion at the same link provided for the panel discussion.
The theme of Black History Month this year is African Americans and Labor. As the largest and most trusted body of health care professionals, nurses are uniquely positioned to lead the charge against racism in health care. The film was produced by Shift, a community of nurses making positive change for each other and the profession.
Panelists will discuss ways to interrupt established patterns that enable discrimination and bias, how nurse leaders can address barriers in nursing education, and how to build community to prevent isolation among students and professionals of color in health care professions and academic institutions.
The panel includes Brian Pervis, department chair, the School of Nursing, and Tonya Boyd, a full-time faculty member in the School of Nursing. Kylie Ackerman, a full-time faculty member in the School of Nursing, will serve as moderator.
