Dr. Ameil Joseph is the Associate Professor at the School of Social Work at McMaster University and holds a Professorship in Equity, Identity, and Transformation from the Faculty of Social Sciences at McMaster. This Grand Rounds sessions explores a myriad of historical and contemporary ways racism is talked about, understood, or omitted in mental health research, education, policy, and practice. Discussing racism and its impact on health and mental health is offered alongside an appreciation that racism has been embedded within mental health and health practice, policy, and law. It also includes perspectives on systemic and structural intervention to advance change for the better.
