Implications of Systemic Racism on Healthcare Project Proposal

BF 510 Boston University Implications of Systemic Racism on Healthcare Project Proposal

BI/BF510 Final Project Proposal

The final project for this course is one focused on a synthesis of primary resources around a central topic. In this class, we covered many different themes that show how systemic racism is manifested in our institutions and society. For the final project, select one of the themes covered in class, or pick one of your own, and select 3-5 articles or other sources to integrate together into a coherent synthesis. Sources may include scientific articles, journalism, editorials, books, podcasts, or other media. The format of your report is flexible, ranging from traditional research paper to more creative forms. This project aims to leverage your own experiences (personal and in this course) and create something that can be shared broadly (with your approval).

We would love to include your project on the course website as examples both to future students and as evidence of your excellent work. This is optional, and your grade is not dependent upon whether you allow us to share your work. If you are willing to let us post and share your final projects publicly on the course website type your name(s) below:
