Research on racism has become more sophisticated, and these presentations represent different approaches to interrupting the deleterious effects. The proposed presentations explore how racism-related stress effects health, how cognitive interventions can be adapted to buffer the negative effects of racism, and how virtual reality can increase empathy and shift attitudes.
