An Introduction to the Anti-Racism Policy Analysis Framework

Event Description:

There is a substantial gap in the policy literature and in practice about what anti-racism policy analysis actually looks like. People who engage in it should be able to draw on accessible frameworks that can be applied quickly and effectively. Anti-racism policy analysis is a crucial part of elevating Canadian policy-making.

This Elevate Policy webinar will provide an introduction and overview of the Anti-Racism Policy Analysis Framework, which was created in 2021 as a guide to support analysis. Featuring Kimberly Nesbeth, the founder of Elevate Policy, the webinar will delve into the context of anti-racism in policy settings, particularly in public policy and organizational policy.

The webinar will focus on anti-racism policy analysis, Elevate Policy's area of specialization, and will situate it within the policy process. There will be a brief Q & A period following the main presentation, allowing for attendees to continue the conversation with Kimberly. The webinar will be held via Zoom.
