Title:
Plenary Talk: Race and causality in health disparities research: time for a necessary paradigm shift

Speaker:
Emma Benn

Abstract:
In this talk, I intend to challenge the way in which we are traditionally taught to operationalize race in biomedical research. By introducing a causal perspective, my hope is that we can move away from a descriptive approach and towards an inferential approach that moves us closer to finding effective interventions to reduce racial disparities in health.
