The School of Public Health and Health Sciences is excited to announce the launch of the Center for Community Health Equity Research. This promotes multidisciplinary research investigating the social production of health disparities and the relationships among individual, social, and environmental structures that impact quality of life and population health. It seeks to address the gap between academic research and practice by leveraging rigorous studies to drive public health policies. The Center will build collective resilience by forging partnerships both locally and globally through participatory research with clinical and community-based organizations.
The keynote address will be give by Dr. David Williams, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who will present his research on “Racial and Socioeconomic Disparities in Health: Present realities and future directions.”
The talk will be followed by brief remarks from a panel of faculty in Health Promotion and Policy and Political Science.
Light refreshments will be served.
