DiSSECT Graduate Program Evaluation Tool for Racial/Ethnic Marginalized Students
I served within an interethnic graduate student advocacy group, Dismantling Systemic Shortcomings in Education and Clinical Training (DiSSECT), which creates and disseminates open-access resources to facilitate anti-racist change within graduate training programs. Among other contributions within the Marginalized Survival Kit (MSK) Committee, I led the development of an evaluation tool for prospective racial/ethnic marginalized students to assess graduate programs’ commitment to values of EDI and anti-racism during the graduate school application process. Graduate training programs can also use the evaluation tool to “self-audit” or evaluate their own anti-racism efforts across areas of the program.
