RAD Staff DEI presents: Jews of Color--Beyond the Count & On the Horizon
Date
Did you know 25% of Bay Area Jewish families are multiracial? Your UCSF Department of Radiology's Staff Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, invites you to an energizing discussion with Ilana Kaufman, CEO of the Jews of Color Initiative (JoCI). Hear the story of the founding of JoCI, including why it is a vital part of today’s Jewish ecosystem. Ilana will also discuss key learnings from JoCI’s two major research studies, Counting Inconsistencies, a population study estimating 12-15% of American Jews are Jews of Color, and Beyond the Count, the largest study of Jews of Color in the US that provides an unprecedented view of JoC identities and lived experiences. The presentation will conclude with perspectives on opportunities for intersectional community collaboration and collective change. Of course, there will be time for Q&A.
Please note, while Ilana will address themes of antisemitism and racism, she will not be addressing the Israel-Hamas War.
