"Applied Methods for Studying Structural Racism, Sexism, and Other Systems of Oppression: Data, Measurement, and Modeling"
Date: July 22-24, 2025
In-person only
This workshop provides practical, theory-driven guidance on methods for studying structural oppression, with a focus on structural racism, structural sexism, and intersecting systems of inequality. Despite growing interest in this research, substantial challenges remain, including fragmented data ecosystems and limited adoption of theoretically grounded, empirically rigorous methodologies.
Workshop instructors will offer conceptual and analytical clarity, showcasing diverse data sources on structural oppression, with guidance on accessing, linking, and analyzing these data. The workshop will also highlight best practices for the scientific study of structural oppression by operationalizing structural oppression in ways that reflect its multifaceted, multilevel, and systemic nature, alongside its other core dimensions, including relational power dynamics, institutionalized structures, sociohistorical contexts, oppressive schemas and logics, the roles of specific actors, the inactions and omissions that sustain these systems, and intersections among forms of oppression.
This workshop is sponsored by the Health and Medical Care Archive (HMCA), which is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The deadline to apply for this Workshop is Monday, May 26, 2025.
