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.
To me, Eradicate Hate was the most important gathering of 2021 for those of us who work on issues related to domestic extremism and organized hate. The Summit uniquely combined a variety of perspectives, including experts, civil society representatives, politicians and policymakers, and the families and loved ones of victims. Eradicate Hate has the important mission of standing against the rising tide of hate and extremism in our society, and it’s an honor to be able to support this mission.
