Dr. Wanda Thomas Bernard
Dalhousie University
"Black Men in Nova Scotia Still Catching Hell But Surviving Against the Odds"
In this presentation, Bernard will share findings from her research with Black men which makes visible, both the plight, and the survival of Black men in England and Canada. Using Africentric theory, Bernard will explore the survival strategies used by Black men in England and Canada. Then she will share more current realities based on her most recent study of the impact of racism and violence on the health and well-being of Black men, their families and communities, which suggest that although Black men are still catching hell, they are surviving against the odds.
Dr. Wanda Thomas Bernard, C.M. has a BA from Mount Saint Vincent University, an MSW from Dalhousie, and a PhD from the University of Sheffield in England. She is a professor, and Director of the School of Social Work, Dalhousie University. Her teaching and research interests are in the area of discrimination, racism, oppression and empowerment. One of Dr. Bernard's most recent research was a project funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, that examined the impact of racism and violence, including the violence of racism, on the health and well being of Black men, their families and communities, in Halifax, Calgary and Toronto. Dr. Thomas Bernard is a community advocate, who roots her research, teaching and practice in current community struggles. She has worked in community practice and mental health, and has received numerous awards, including the Order of Canada for her work on race and racism.
