11 AM: ADDRESSING HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES THROUGH DIVERSE MEDICAL ILLUSTRATIONS
As part of his U.S.A. tour, the author of Beyond Skin: Why Representation Matters in Medicine, a thought-provoking and eye-opening book by Chidebere Ibe, the creative genius behind the famous Black fetus illustration and advocate for medical representation, will explore the critical role that medical illustrations play in patient education and healthcare accessibility and acceptability.

By diversifying medical imagery, the healthcare industry can create more inclusive and effective educational materials, improving health outcomes for underrepresented communities.

12 PM: CHANGING THE NARRATIVE: INTERROGATING WHITE SUPREMACY IN TEACHER EDUCATION TEXTBOOKS
Dr. Crystasny Turner and Dr. Michele Turner will share findings of their critical analysis of racial and cultural bias in teacher preparation textbooks. Their findings illustrate how textbooks propagate notions of white superiority and the normalcy of mainstream white, middle-class values through six distinct yet intersecting forms of racial and cultural biases.

Presenters will provide a framework that encourages teacher educators to engage to dismantle white supremacy in teaching and learning.
