Over 800 graduate students are currently enrolled in our doctoral and master’s programs across many areas of study in one of the best schools of public health in the world.The overall objective of this new field will be to provide graduate students with a culturally relevant program to fully understand Black public health issues in preparation for public health practice with Black communities. Black communities consist of diverse genders, gender identities, ages, sexual orientations, religious and spiritual backgrounds, abilitiesdisabilities, classes, immigration and migration processes, among other factors. Black identity is complex, made of diverse ways of identifying, such as Black, African, and African-Canadian, to name a few. Hence, AfricanBlack is used to holistically include the diversity of representation amongst Black community members.
