Abstract: The Public Health Critical Race Praxis (PHCRP) is attentive to how racism affects both health outcomes and knowledge production. That is, the effect of racism is not limited to the outcomes that the researchers study. Racism also impacts what and how researchers study. The goal of this chapter is not to explain what PHCRP is or how to apply PHCRP to study how racism impacts health outcomes. Instead, the chapter aims to demonstrate how PHCRP can be used to critically assess the research process itself through counterstorytelling. In this chapter, we briefly describe PHCRP, define counterstorytelling, and present five PHCRP methodological counterstories. The PHCRP methodological counterstories in this chapter challenge dominant narratives about conducting health equity research, offer examples of how to engage in disciplinary self-critique using counterstorytelling, and attempt to demystify the process of using PHCRP, particularly for junior scholars of color.
