 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.

About the Book

BLACK WOMEN & PUBLIC HEALTH: STRATEGIES TO NAME, LOCATE, AND CHANGE SYSTEMS OF POWER

SUNY PRESS, Black Women's Wellness Book Series (2022)


FROM THE INTRODUCTION: 

Black Women and Public Health: Strategies to Name, Locate, and Change Systems of Power seeks to create an interdisciplinary dialogue that bridges gaps between researchers, practitioners, educators, and advocates. Black women’s work in public health is a regenerative practice. Just as Dr. Anna Julia Cooper wrote in her 1892 essay, “Womanhood: A Vital Element in the Regeneration and Progress of a Race” we look backward, inward, and forward to renew and refresh as we work to improve the quality of life for ourselves and others.
