Tune in for one, two, or all five episodes livestreamed on LinkedIn and YouTube here.
Six visionary thinkers take the mic, pair up, and talk to each other one-on-one. Unscripted is for health equity leaders, researchers, students, activists, and anyone interested in challenging the research status quo to advance health equity.
Listen as leaders in open science, Indigenous data sovereignty, gender and science, human rights, environmental justice, and community power:
  • Talk shop about what the future of research could look like and how we get there.
  • Challenge themselves and all of us to make research inclusive and equitable.
  • Ask tough questions about confronting structural racism, access to knowledge, the value of cultural and community knowledge, tenure, and more.
Five daily episodes, each one building on the last as the guest from one episode becomes the host of the next.

Those who register for the series can also participate in the Put it on a Shirt campaign.

What is ‘Put it on a Shirt’? RWJF is trying something fun with this series: Have you ever heard a quote so good that you wanted it on a shirt? Listen live and when you hear something you think is shirt-worthy, drop it in the chat. They will design one shirt born from each of the five episodes. A limited number will be available for free via print on demand. Join the fun: Let’s co-create to extend the conversations!
