Effective engagement on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requires activities that promote deep introspection and group conversations that serve to complement and build upon formal DEI presentations. The arts and humanities by their nature allow for intentional and sustained reflection and have the potential to be transformative of thinking. We therefore propose that the next phase of institutional pro-equity/anti-racism efforts includes arts- and humanities-based initiatives to facilitate reflection and that serve to complement and build upon formal DEI didactic presentations, implicit bias workshops, and anti-racism training.

Background: Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is a commonly used graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, particularly in the setting of haploidentical (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The rate of graft failure has been reported to be as high as 12-20% in haplo-HCT recipients using PTCy. The objective of this study was to determine if donor type influenced the risk of late graft failure following RIC HCT using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis.
