From Practice to Policy Using a Community-Based Participatory Research Approach
2021-01-27 12:00 - 13:30
From Practice to Policy Using a Community-Based Participatory Research Approach –
Hosted in partnership with Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, the Detroit Urban Research Center, the CBPR Partnership Academy.
As we continue to witness and experience inequities and disparities across communities it is critical that we understand the role that research has in leveraging the political agenda to impact the well-being of communities. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in particular is at the crux of bridging evidence and policy. To advance the progress of this translation we must examine the linkage between CBPR and policy, assess the current landscape, and highlight and replicate successful examples. This webinar seeks to develop a narrative to advocate for and push forward CBPR work that influences policy.

Rule of Love: Love-Based Governance for Global Health
2021-02-02 13:00 - 17:21
Rule of Love: Love-Based Governance for Global Health –
Co-sponsored by the Fung Global Fellows program and the University Center for Human Values
Speaker: Thana de Campos, Fung Global Fellow and assistant professor of law, ethics, and global public policy at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.
The duty to care for strangers who are dying from diseases in remote countries has been widely debated in the field of global health. Scholars have argued for such duties as a question of justice. However, these scholars have not explored the complementary force of love in supporting universal duties of care that transcend the boundaries of justice and rights. Thana de Campos investigates how love, building on justice, would inform a different allocation of the duty of care to effectively and ethically reduce the suffering caused by illnesses that spread across political borders. Thana de Campos argues that where justice, because of its reliance upon claim-rights, cannot justify the moral duty to care for those suffering from illnesses that are not necessarily unjust, love can add a justification for the ethical duty to care for those with no claim-rights. This project sheds light on the neglected theme of love as a strong practical reason supporting universal duties of health care.

Rutgers Princeton Center for Computational Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Seminar –
Humans are complex dynamic systems, with feelings, thoughts, and actions that are interconnected and that change over time. I will provide an overview of efforts to realize this complex systems perspective of human behavior across three studies. Using intensive repeated measures data collected online and in the wild, the studies will demonstrate how zooming into processes unfolding over the course of minutes, hours, and days can provide insight into depression, nicotine withdrawal, and curiosity.
