Let's talk about... is a collaborative research seminar series organised by the Cancer Research UK Cambridge, City of London and Manchester Centres.
Hosted online every two months, the seminars aim to shine a spotlight on various equality, diversity and inclusivity topics in cancer research.
All CRUK researchers and those with an interest in the topic are welcome to attend the next seminar, which is hosted by the CRUK Cambridge Centre.
Let’s Talk About Being Black in Cancer
Sigourney Bonner, PhD student, CRUK Cambridge Institute and Co-founder, Black in Cancer
When: Monday 27 February, 12:00–12:45 online
Research has demonstrated that Black people have a higher cancer burden and face greater obstacles to cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and survival.
Further to this, the representation and visibility of Black researchers in the cancer field has always been particularly low.
In this seminar, Sigourney Bonner will talk to us about her experiences that led her to co-found the Black in Cancer organisation and the work that they are doing in order to address both of these issues.
