Structural Competency Symposium, Friday 4/12
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
In conjunction with the National Conference for Physician-Scholars in the Social Sciences and Humanities, this one-day conference on structural competency explores a new clinical politics for understanding the relationships among race, class, and symptom expression. This one-day conference will assemble multidisciplinary practitioners and theorists to explore Structural Competency, a new clinical politics for understanding the relationships among race, class, and symptom expression that proposes that a host of disorders (e.g. hypertension, obesity, smoking, medication “non-compliance,” post-traumatic syndromes, depression, psychosis) must be addressed as the downstream implications of upstream decisions (e.g. food delivery systems, housing discrimination, urban infrastructure failure, biocapitalism, diagnostic codes).

Structural
competency extends beyond cultural competency to address the pathologies of
institutions and policies that alter the behaviors and biologies of
individuals.
Specific questions that this conference will address include:
- What structures help define illness and health? To what means, and to what ends?
- What methods exist (or need to be developed) for training clinical eyes to see social contexts?
- What competencies and interdisciplinary sensibilities are required in order to act on these structures?
- Which imaginative structural approaches to promoting social justice might medical and public health practitioners adapt from practitioners and activists in fields outside of medicine?
- What alliances and new forms of coalition need to emerge in order to impart structural change?
