Octavia Vogel, Study Principal Investigator
Building on Black Feminist and Womanist theory, The Say Study seeks to document and archive stories about Black women’s lived experience of anti-Blackness during clinical encounters.
Recruitment for this study is tentatively scheduled to start this summer.
Engaging Art
The Say Study will be using art as a means to inform the archive and collect data. Participants will be able to interact with an art installation built by Stephanie Fleming that will facilitate participant learning while also serving as a means to collect data. A select group of women will work Sierra King to develop objects for the archive.
Say Study Research Assistant
Developing a Digital Archive
Historically, Black women have been missing from the archive. In response to this silence, The Say Study seeks to center both the voices and experiences of Black women to build a digital archive. The archive will include transcripts of interviews, video and audio recordings as well as aggregated quantitative data collected through study surveys. This project will culminate with a exhibition.
