Summary: This study implemented and evaluated the impact of a student-led anti-racism programme on medical students' perceptions of racial bias in medicine, awareness of, and confidence to advocate against racism in medicine. The findings show that the programme significantly improved students' awareness and confidence to advocate against racism in medicine, leading to a change in their perception of race-based medical practice. This simple and reproducible programme contributes to addressing racial bias in medicine and enhancing anti-racism teaching among future physicians.

Summary: Racism in medical education has both implicit and explicit manifestations that create disparities and negative health outcomes for patients. This paper presents a list of action items to guide medical schools in becoming anti-racist institutions. A deep understanding of subject matter, beliefs, and self-reflection are essential for medical school leaders and faculty members to incorporate anti-racism into the curriculum and adapt existing training modules on diversity and inclusion. The paper proposes twelve practical tips for implementing and teaching anti-racism in medical education, valuable for curriculum design and educational activities in undergraduate and postgraduate medical programs.

Summary: Despite efforts to correct racial health inequities, they still persist due to inadequate understanding of racism in public health institutions and failure to apply critical race theory (CRT) to both research and teaching. Conventional approaches in academic public health, without addressing their roots in Whiteness, reproduce an unprepared workforce that excludes scholars of color and relies on individual behavior theories. To bring about lasting change, the rising generation of public health scholars and practitioners must recognize the connection between health equity and racial and social justice, and critically examine their teaching responsibilities.

Summary: Justice is not only a moral obligation, but it also plays a crucial role in promoting global decarbonization. However, technological innovations can lead to inequalities and environmental degradation. The concept of energy justice addresses these issues by emphasizing moral justness. Existing scholarship often fails to consider gender, Indigeneity, race, and other intersecting inequalities. Feminist, Indigenous, anti-racist, and postcolonial approaches provide important insights to counter theories of justice based on colonial, liberalist, majoritarian, utilitarian, or masculinist assumptions.

Summary: There is a strong link between cultural and clinical safety, but racism remains a barrier to increasing the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency aims to eliminate racism from the health system and has adopted a cultural safety definition led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Novel approaches to university curriculum development are needed to promote culturally safe and decolonised learning environments.

Summary: A systematic review has identified 11 examples from peer-reviewed literature of curricula, lessons, and competencies developed by public health faculty and departments regarding teaching structural racism in public health since 2006. The review found a range of approaches to teaching about structural racism in public health, suggesting a lack of consensus on the best teaching methods. Additionally, there is little rigorous evaluation of these teaching methods and curricula, indicating a need for further research on public health pedagogy on structural racism.

Summary: This case study explores the obstacles faced by a preservice teacher in implementing critical composition pedagogy in a suburban U.S. middle school, using cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) as a framework. The teacher, identified as gay, middle-class, gender nonconforming, and White, encountered challenges related to school beliefs, discomfort with criticality, limited autonomy, skills-focused curriculum, excessive testing, and a lack of actionable models. The findings suggest the importance of integrating productive dissonance and intersectional identity work in justice-centered teacher preparation, as well as collaboration between teacher educators and schools to support criticality.

Summary: The study presents a method to resolve distinct additive and synergistic transcriptomic effects following combinatorial manipulation of genetic variants and/or chemical perturbagens. By specifically looking into interactions between two or more perturbagens, the study aims to uncover the extend of non-additive (synergistic) interactions between the perturbations.
