About the webinar:
While not all Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) research needs to have a primary focus on health equity, all research must account for the diversity of the workforce. This presentation turns the analytical lens back on ourselves to understand how the same structures that result in occupational health inequities also circumscribe the work of OSH organizations and professionals, resulting, often inadvertently, in exclusionary research practices. Learners will explore a conceptual framework to identify exclusionary research practices, and discuss three key elements of this framework (structural invisibility, institutionalized exclusion, and unexamined assumptions). Learners will also discuss how exclusionary research benefits some groups more than others, and methods to help ensure research is more inclusive moving forward.
