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 Summit unites the public and private sectors, domestic and international, against hate and extremism. Researchers, activists, lawyers, technology experts, political leaders, and more come together, each bringing their unique tools to the fight. Important relationships that were established at the Summit in 2021 have carried forward into working groups with concrete deliverables for 2022 and beyond.
