Through the innovative Culture and Justice Quorum, the department aims to address structural racism, foster justice, and dismantle the foundational injustices embedded within departmental clinical, educational, and research work and within the wider culture. The Quorum offers a model for creating and sustaining department-level action to shift culture and encourage antiracist work. Since established, it has received institutional recognition, including receiving the 2022 Inclusive Excellent Award for Department-Organizational Unit, which recognizes outstanding institutional contributions for inclusion and diversity efforts.
