Susan Graff focuses on the power of storytelling to inform health science educational programs. As co-founder of the Community, Partnership, Identity, Dialogue (CuPID) program, Graff collects individual stories of Pitt staff, students, faculty and community members to develop educational content that address the way in which concepts like racism, ethnocentrism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia manifest in health care, health science education and the broader community. Her passion for teaching, service and research lies at the intersection of storytelling, health care, education and community building. Her own story inspires her to advance health science education on children with Neurodisability by collaborating with the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities Program.
The Eradicate Hate Global Summit brings together scholars, practitioners, civil society organizations, and policymakers from around the world to share best practices and lessons learned, based on data and empirical evidence, in countering hate-fueled extremism and violent narratives. No other summit, conference, or workshop brings together such an extraordinary group of world-class talent focused on dealing with the issue of hate-fueled violent extremism.
