BLACK WOMEN & PUBLIC HEALTH
Research Collective
About
Research Partners
Building on community-based work by scholar activists like Byllye Avery, this collective is a multidisciplinary group of scholars in science, social science, and humanities. Our discussion traverses Black women's studies and public health topics through various disciplinary lenses.
We are historians, sociologists, epidemiologists, professors of community medicine and infectious diseases, residency directors, counselors, family physicians, oncologists, psychiatrists and psychologists, nutritionists, maternal and child health specialists, non-profit leaders, journalists and media studies scholars, preventative medicine advocates, and public health practitioners (specializing in behavioral, educational, international/global, legal, policy, and social determinants of health among several other areas). We are research lab directors, grant principal investigators, consultants, and Black women's studies scholars connected through our work.
We examine history, present issues, and future concerns relevant to specialists and generalists interested in Black women's wellness.
Co-edited Book
Black Women and Public Health: Strategies to Name, Locate, and Change Systems of Power seeks to create an interdisciplinary dialogue about race, gender, and health that bridges gaps between researchers, practitioners, educators, and advocates.
