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 has started. If you would like to participate, please click on the participate button above or visit The Say Study Website.
Engaging Art
The Say Study will use art 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 and serve as a means to collect data. A select group of women will work with Sierra King to develop objects for the archive.
Developing a Digital Archive
Historically, Black women’s stories have been missing from the archive. In response to this silence, The Say Study seeks to center the voices and experiences of Black women to build a digital archive. The archive will include transcripts of interviews, video and audio recordings, and aggregated quantitative data collected through study surveys. This project will culminate with an exhibition.
