Seminar Information:

This journal club style session will delve into key principles for conducting equity-centered research using existing data sources, with Chakraborty et al’s study on sexual orientation and pregnancy outcomes as a starting point. Guided by reflections from Snowden et al, we will discuss critical topics such as data inclusivity, avoiding reductionist perspectives, and applying intersectional and other theoretical frameworks. While focusing on the challenges and best practices in leveraging pre-existing data, we will also consider implications for future primary data collection that ethically and genuinely serves marginalized communities.

This seminar welcomes participants from all levels and disciplines, fostering a collaborative learning environment where we can collectively work toward advancing meaningful research, ethical clinical care, and equitable public health practice.

Attendees are asked to read two journal articles in preparation for this journal club session.
