About this course
This course introduces the idea of positionality to public health practitioners and researchers. This framework can be used by people working in public health to reflect on their own identity, and how it may show up in the work they do. Through a lecture and several activities, learners will practice reflection to better understand how it can apply to their own work.
What you'll learn
After completing the training, you will be able to:
- Discuss positionality and its influence
- Reflect on your own positionality using frameworks
