Join us for the launch and celebration of Dr. OmiSoore H. Dryden's newest book, Got Blood to Give: Anti-Black Homophobia in Blood Donation.

Through storytelling, theorizing and discourse analysis, this book investigates how anti-Black homophobic nation-building policies became enshrined in blood donation.

About the author: Dr. OmiSoore H. Dryden (she/her/hers), a Black queer femme and professor at Dalhousie University, is the James R Johnston Endowed Research Chair in Black Canadian Studies, Faculty of Medicine, the Interim Director of the Black Studies Research Institute (in STEMM), and the co-founder and co-lead of the national organization, The Black Health Education Collaborative. OmiSoore engages in interdisciplinary scholarship and research that focuses on Black LGBTQI communities, blood donation systems in Canada, and anti-Black racism in healthcare, medical education, and Black health curricular content development.
