Brian Smedley, Equity Scholar, The Urban Institute, Co-founder, National Collaborative for Health Equity
"Race, Place, and Chronic Disease: The Geography of Health Inequities."
U.S. Black, Latinx, and American Indian/Alaska Native people face a higher burden of chronic disease and poor health than Whites, even when adjusting at the individual level for economic differences. These populations are also more likely to live in segregated, high-poverty neighborhoods whose history of economic marginalization results in a high concentration of health risks, such as air, water, and soil pollution, and a relative dearth of health-enhancing resources, such as healthy food retail. This presentation will illustrate how this legacy shapes conditions for health in communities of color, and the importance of place for health. It will also examine policy strategies, such as place-based investments, to improve community conditions for health.

The Covid-19 pandemic has required us to teach in new formats, using technology (some familiar, some less so) in new ways to help our students learn. While at times challenging, our collective experience has shown that we are willing and able to adapt our teaching methods to overcome such challenges.
At this event, we will reflect on what we have learned during the pandemic while exploring how we have been able to strengthen our practice, regardless of what teaching situation we use.
Topics include:
- Reflections on the experience of teaching and learning in a pandemic
- Inequities that surfaced and how we can address to help historically underrepresented and marginalized students achieve their goals
- Lessons learned that enable us to rediscover meaning, purpose and fulfillment in our teaching in all class formats
- How to keep the best of teaching with technology strategies in person and online
