This talk will provide an overview on the relationship between social media and body image in young women. Learn about the results of several studies conducted at York University examining the relationship between social media and mental health, and their real world implications.\n\nDr. Danielle Robinson, Associate Professor, Theatre, Dance and Performance, School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design\nNew Capstone Classroom Creates Community and Connection\nDo students need to feel connected as a community in order to feel satisfied with their learning? What enhances or detracts from those feelings of connection as a community? This talk will discuss York’s C4 program (Cross-Campus Capstone Classroom), a grassroots initiative that brings together faculty, staff and students to work with community and industry partners on challenges designed to create positive social impact.\n\nSecond Sessions: 11:20 a.m. \n\nDr. Sachil Singh, Assistant Professor, School of Kinesiology & Health Science, Faculty of Health\nRacial biases in Healthcare – Algorithms to the Rescue?\nAlgorithms are used in healthcare to improve hospital efficiency and better inform patient diagnoses and treatment plans. With an eye on race, this talk will draw on interviews with healthcare practitioners and data scientists to demonstrate how perceptions of algorithms as objective, neutral and unbiased technologies are misleading. When coupled with healthcare practitioners’ own racial biases, the compounding impact is one that can deepen already existing racial inequalities beyond healthcare.\n\nDr. Sylvia Bawa, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies\nInternational Solidarity for Women’s and Minority Rights\nWhich groups and institutions are implicated in thinking about women’s and minority rights through the right to solidarity? Dr. Sylvia Bawa argues that while there is a concern over the ‘dilution’ of human rights, there is a need to cultivate a solidarity consciousness in order to ensure accountability for human rights principles. She uses two concepts in African humanism, Ubuntu (a relational humanity consciousness) and Ferootuma (duty), to argue against the charitable impulse when we confront issues of poverty, marginalization and injustice.\n
